Arctic Air Grips State

SDPB

South Dakota is now in the middle of a bitter cold snap with the kind of frigid temperatures not seen in several years.  

In the coming days parts of the Black Hills will see high temperatures that are still below zero.

On this Dakota Digest we check in with our reporters around the state about the cold weather. 

We begin in Aberdeen with SDPB’s Jenifer Jones  who takes a look at  snow totals on the ground in the wake of the arctic air blast .

You can find a National Weather Service website showing the record coldest temperatures in towns around the region here.
 

Kealey Bultena grew up in South Dakota, where her grandparents took advantage of the state’s agriculture at nap time, tricking her into car rides to “go see cows.” Rarely did she stay awake long enough to see the livestock, but now she writes stories about the animals – and the legislature and education and much more. Kealey worked in television for four years while attending the University of South Dakota. She started interning with South Dakota Public Broadcasting in September 2010 and accepted a position with television in 2011. Now Kealey is the radio news producer stationed in Sioux Falls. As a multi-media journalist, Kealey prides herself on the diversity of the stories she tells and the impact her work has on people across the state. Kealey is always searching for new ideas.
