Do you recognize this individual?

A winter storm will push into the area today. Snow will begin from west to east later this afternoon and continue through Monday, tapering off from west to east Tuesday morning. Heaviest amounts along and south of I-90 #sdwx #wywx

A trooper stopped a vehicle for going 87 mph in an 80 mph zone near mile marker 206 on Interstate 29 during a winter weather event. Slow don’t, don’t overdrive road conditions, and buckle up. #keepSDsafe

State officials have informed me that the National Guard will be activated to help with winter storm response on the Rosebud reservation.

Stay in your vehicles. Wait for rescue, do not leave your vehicle.

Ellsworth AFB earlier this evening, a few miles NE of Rapid City, SD. These conditions could continue all the way through Friday morning in portions of our area. Wind chill factors of 40 to 60 below zero are already creeping into the Black Hills.
Thanks so much: Dorothy Voorhees.

Stay home! If you are traveling and get stranded, these conditions can become life-threatening in a hurry. #keepSDsafe

@SDPublicSafety staff in Pierre held our traditional Christmas luncheon Wednesday. It is a chance to spend quality time with each other.

Two things are always proven each year: DPS has great cooks and great Christmas sweaters! #keepSDsafe

#TuesdayTrivia Where can you find this sign on the Forest? Think we will break the record?

[Piedmont Fire Department @FirePiedmont]

Temps are going to be bad for a few days. Take precautions if you have to be out and about. Watch your furnaces, wood burners, and water supplies. These temps are hard on our trucks, too, so we really don't want to see you if possible. No offense ;) #preperation

[Brant Beckman ☀️💧⚡️ @BrantBeckmanwx]

I am very lucky to get 3:30 to 4 minutes for winter storms during the show. I know most on-air Mets have to fight for 2:30.

4 minutes is not enough time for South Dakota and northeast Wyoming. What about you?

[Piedmont Fire Department @FirePiedmont]

@jbuss79 @RapidCityRush You and your family will be in our prayers.

[Piedmont Fire Department @FirePiedmont]

The intertate between Wyoming and Chamberlain will be closing at 11:00 p.m. tonight. Please make sure you are home, and safe! #sdwx
