Snowing has stopped in Hot Springs. Dopplar Radar says it is all done, but the clouds are still hanging low on Battle Mountain. I am sure there are patches of ice on the roads. We had about 3 and a half inches of wet white stuff on my pation.

.a quick moving but potent storm system will move across the
northern plains this weekend. This system will spread snow into
eastern south dakota and western minnesota this afternoon and
evening. The current track of the low pressure area may allow
snowfall along highway 14 to diminish late tonight...limiting
snowfall somewhat. However... Areas of light snow will move back into
the area sunday as the system moves off to the east. Breezy south
winds will accompany the first wave of snowfall through
tonight...though this snow will be on the wet side...so any blowing
snow threat should be limited to when the snow is falling. Snowfall
on sunday will be lighter and drier in nature... And will also be
accompanied by stronger northwest winds. This will bring an increased
threat of blowing snow through the day sunday.
