On April 28th, 1994 winter returned to eastern South Dakota western Minnesota and western Iowa just three days after temperatures in the 80s and severe thunderstorms ripped across the region. A strong area of low pressure moved across the plains states and heavy snow developed across the tri-state area. Snow accumulated in the 5 to 12 inch range across eastern South Dakota with 5 to 10 inches in southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa. Heavy snow fell to the crashes of thunder at Sioux Falls where 4 inches accumulated in one hour. The 10.5 inches that piled up in Sioux Falls was the most ever recorded for so late in the season.
