A video taken by a meteorologist in South Dakota and posted to social media on Wednesday shows twenty seconds of a frightening drive by way of a heavy blizzard.
A thick grey fills the view in the footage as Matthew Dux, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, drives down a road, street lights, road indicators and other automobiles only appearing at close quarters.
“It is not great at all out there!” Dux stated in the Twitter post accompanying the video, which he stated was taken south of the Sioux Falls airport. “Far too many people on the roads. No lights on, driving way too fast.”
It is not terrific at all out there! Far as well quite a few individuals on the roads. No lights on, driving way as well rapid.

In a different Twitter post, Dux posted a video of the snowfall coming down more than homes and a children’s swing set and slide, saying it showed massive flakes falling, with visibility at instances significantly less than one hundred feet (30.5 metres).
The Sioux Falls climate service reported a new record of snowfall on December 23, with 2.8 inches. The prior record was 2.6 inches set back in 1987, the service stated, predicting dangerously cold wind chills on Thursday.
“DO NOT TRAVEL!” was Dux’s firm warning to other folks caught in the inclement climate.
