From an article by BECKY BOHRER, AP Writer Wed Oct 5,10:59 PM ET:

As much as 11 inches of snow had fallen in southeastern Montana by Wednesday morning. Billings had received 10.8 inches and set a record for snowfall Tuesday with 9.9 inches,
National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Humphrey said.

The storm, which moved in from the Rockies overnight, dropped up to two feet of snow in parts of western and central North Dakota, and winds up to 50 mph created blizzard conditions in some areas.
