WOW!
A friend’s daughter recently moved to SD. She’s kind of re-thinking it based upon all the rough weather they’ve had this spring. Lots of downed trees on her new property to deal with, and so much rain you can’t get any clean-up done. :(
If she’s already rethinking and hasn’t been in a winter out there yet she’ll be back in Wisconsin in no time Diana
Some areas of South dakota are better than others.
The southern hills have thevbest weather of anywhere else.
The most extreme temp change ever recorded was at Spearfish..
Spearfish holds the world record for the fastest recorded temperature change. On January 22, 1943, at about 7:30 a.m. MST, the temperature in Spearfish was −4 °F (−20 °C). The Chinook wind picked up speed rapidly, and two minutes later (7:32 a.m.) the temperature was +45 °F (7 °C).
Wind chill can be 50 below out there!
