Sunday Marked First Snowfall of Season

Northwest Iowa — The first snowfall of the season dropped anywhere from less than an inch to 6.8-inches of snow on Northwest Iowa Sunday.

The heaviest snow accumulation was reported at Rock Rapids, where they measured 6.8-inches of the heavy, wet white stuff. In southeast South Dakota, Canton saw a 2.5-inch snowfall. To our north, Worthington, Minnesota reported 5-inches, with 5.5-inches falling at Bigelow, and 3-inches at Pipestone.

At the KIWA Studios in Sheldon we measured 1.5-inches of snow, while Orange City saw only around 0.2-inches. Residents of Hull were treated to 1.8-inches of snow, with just an inch falling at Remsen.

With sunny skies and highs in the low 40’s Monday, with highs warming into the 50’s, with the chance of a 60-degree reading later this week, the snow should be a distant memory by the end of this week.
