Winter Weather in Sioux, Iowa

Snowfall totaled 4.5 inches 6 miles north of Ireton, 4.0 inches at Sioux Center, 3.3 inches at Orange City, and 3.0 inches at Rock Valley.

The first snow of the season occurred November 8 as a clipper system interacted with a polar cold-air intrusion across the Northern Plains. Light snow first developed during the early morning hours and continued into the early afternoon. A broad swath of snow from 3-5 inches fell from near Mitchell to Sioux Falls to Spencer. Relatively warm ground temperatures limited accumulations on area roadways with most major arteries clear by the afternoon.
