This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Much of South Dakota made it into January without a true taste of winter weather. That changed for the southeastern corner of the state on Monday.

We check in with the National Weather Service about the weather system that dumped several inches of snow on Sioux Falls and its surrounding communities and the much colder weather in the forecast.

We talk about emergency preparedness and how this winter compares to last year.

Peter Rogers is the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls.
