The sunflower harvest is 31 percent done; the corn harvest is 63 percent complete; and the soybean harvest is at 92 percent, according to the latest U.S. Agriculture Department crop progress report.<br /><br />"Obviously, the snow will bring them to a standstill for a few days," said Keith Alverson, who farms near Chester, in the eastern part of the state. "But it looks like it's going to warm up and stay pretty dry, so hopefully it's a temporary shutdown."<br /><br />Alverson got all of his corn out Monday, though he still has field work to do.<br /><br />It's been an on-again, off-again harvest, he said.<br /><br />"We've had these small windows the month of October. It seems about once a week we'd get some rain or snow or something. We'd have two to three days off and go hard for a few days and then have a break, so we certainly made an intense push there," Alverson said.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8TUD4jC_8PE/UnuSVdzheSI/AAAAAAABNWM/LoD7T2PpjhY/s1600/usawinterstorm05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8TUD4jC_8PE/UnuSVdzheSI/AAAAAAABNWM/LoD7T2PpjhY/s1600/usawinterstorm05.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This iWitness photo was taken by Penny Wal 5 miles NE of Avon, SD.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vkN_E8cIA-c/UnuSVZHWEKI/AAAAAAABNWQ/-7No5UZvbgg/s1600/usawinterstorm06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vkN_E8cIA-c/UnuSVZHWEKI/AAAAAAABNWQ/-7No5UZvbgg/s1600/usawinterstorm06.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This iWitness photo was taken by Penny Wal 5 miles NE of Avon, S.D.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zbgoy0wjET4/UnuSVvK8BOI/AAAAAAABNWU/t6eEddrekHw/s1600/usawinterstorm07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zbgoy0wjET4/UnuSVvK8BOI/AAAAAAABNWU/t6eEddrekHw/s1600/usawinterstorm07.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Southeastern Minnesota.

Otherwise silk on the ears of corn can clog the combine and the ground will be too sticky from the cold and snow.<br /><br />"It makes the ground conditions on top a little greasy," he said.<br /><br />The snow prompted the postponement of some events but otherwise had a minimal impact.<br /><br />"It's gotta happen sometime," said Rod Evans as he shoveled the heavy snow off the sidewalk outside his photography studio in Sioux Falls.<br /><br />He mailed his snow removal contract for the year on Tuesday morning, just before the snow started to fall. It goes into effect Nov. 15. <br /><br /><br /><span style="color: lime;"><b>WATCH: </b></span>Winter Arrives Early in South Dakota.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" class="b-hbp-video b-uploaded" frameborder="0" height="333" id="BLOGGER-video-bfdebe016826d45d-14505" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxbnJfLm7UewC1UkOKrDAR-J3s_NJ29-7k7b0H-GedEl7SEvk4nCw0pxRTudEptWs7gRwfqqon2mrJmyucJyQY72noKoYd77sO_4nP8NvnKfXxOM5dmU6_xkbJa6dwbaZRLbxFA" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="570"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br />In southwestern Minnesota, a trained spotter measured 8.5 inches of snow about 6 miles to the east-southeast of Marshall.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.weather.com/video/a-national-look-at-the-next-3-days-364?lc=int_mb_1001">National</a> Weather Service says a spotter estimated 8 inches of snow 5 miles north-northwest of Holland.<br /><br />Other <a href="http://www.weather.com/maps/maptype/forecastsusnational/ussnowfallforecast_large.html?lc=int_mb_1001">snowfall</a> reports include 3.5 inches near Kingston and in Granite Falls and 3 inches in Sacred Heart. - <a href="http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/snow-south-dakota-minnesota-nebraska-20131106"><span style="color: orange;"><b>TWC</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>
