Snow_2013A storm that trekked from southern South Dakota and northern Nebraska to northwest Iowa and central Minnesota Tuesday dropped up to 10 inches of snow with rates of one inch per hour in some locations.

In South Dakota, as much as 9.5 inches of snow fell 5 miles east of the town of Porcupine. Sioux Falls, located in the extreme southeast part of the state, saw just over a half foot of snow.

Up to 8.5 inches covered the ground in Minnesota near Marshall. Minneapolis/St. Paul saw its first measurable snow of the season with 1.8 inches.
