Need to go east, you could ride here but you will run out of snow in many spots. I guess if you just wanted to break in a belt or some testing you could find an east west road with desent snow. Iowa does a good job of marking ditches. I would bet if you went east on hwy 9 you find good snow by Ocheydan towards spirt lake.

Because riding ditches and trails sucks compared to boondocking in the Hills when the snow is good.

sorry, im only reporting what the weather station has told me so don't kill the messenger! But, as you all hopefully know, only the first wave has hit, the rest SHOULD be hitting today, i heard from either noon till 4 or something it should be hitting and dropping another 4 inches, and tonight another 4 inches or something like that. So at some point i believe we are supposed to be getting 12 inches or so.

@jlebrun, in the sioux falls area we probably got at least 5 inches already

Ok my reverse psychology worked. Anyway got the sleds ready to go, going to go out and do some street riding as well as buzz a couple city parks with snow fences(you get 20 ft wide drifts about 3 feet deep) so it kind of reminds of the mountains. Dont worry cops can't catch you when the streets are not plowed.

Over here in Sibley, Iowa - it is NUTS! No one can even get out of their driveways, snowblowers cant get thru deep snow, its a deadzone. Now is a great time to think about buying a snowmobile for folks that need transportation and a little stress reliever! I'm going out pretty soon to tear it up!

Down by Yankton in Springfield we are to in a dead zone pretty much. Lost all power for a good chunk of the day. Probably have about 14 inches with heavy winds. East and West ditches look awesome, North and South look choppy and drifted like hell.
