SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The fresh snow in southern KELOLAND is making roads slick this morning.

Early morning roads are snow packed and difficult to travel south of Sioux Falls.

Rural roads are drifting with 15-30 mph winds in southern KELOLAND.

Slippery and wet roads are the main conditions being reported. According to South Dakota 511, no travel is advised on I-29 from just south of the Canton exit to the South Dakota border. 

DOT says heavy snow along with high winds is causing conditions to deteriorate rapidly.

In Lincoln County, roads are snow covered and slippery. Blowing wind is causing some drifting on roadways.

According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, there has been multiple slid ins near Davis exit.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety posted these pictures to social media. Officials say they were taken between Oglala and Red Shirt. One could be seen laying on its roof while the other ended up on its side. Officials ask residents to use caution while traveling.
