I lived in SoDak for a total of 12 months, and add to that my years in MO, IL and VA, and I’m here to tell you this: weather IS. East of the Rockies, it truly sucks most of the time.
West of the Sierras, it’s kind of sucky, and everywhere else, it takes a stout heart to endure it. Which is why I live where I do.
However, You ARE the Imperial Weatherman, and Tax-chick IS your Secretary, so I WILL expect excellent weather for the upcoming visit. Period. ;o]
