A winter storm closed schools Friday, prevented travel and played a part in an accident with a snowplow in Moody County.
It was the third weekend in a row for bad weather and the most brutal so far this winter.
From Friday through Saturday morning, Flandreau got 6 inches of snow, which blew around because of high winds, causing drifting, poor visibility and closings. Both Flandreau and Colman-Egan schools were closed for the day, as were many Flandreau businesses.
On Interstate 29 about two miles south of the Colman exit, a driver in a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear-ended a South Dakota Department of Transportation plow going north, according to the state Department of Public Safety. The plow driver was plowing the driver’s lane about 9:35 a.m. Friday when the accident happened in white-out conditions.
