Across the Corn Belt, snow is gradually ending across the upper Midwest in the wake of Thursday’s storm. In South Dakota, October 22 snowfall totals included 7.2 inches in Aberdeen and 4.7 inches in Sisseton. Meanwhile, a strong cold front stretching from Michigan to Missouri is sparking showers and thunderstorms. In advance of the front, warm weather prevails in the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes region. Midwestern fieldwork—including corn and soybean harvesting—which had been advancing briskly until mid-October, has been slowed or halted in recent days.
