“South Dakota is now on my list of states to consider relocation.” [GSWarrior, post 6]
“...South Dakota will be one of the first states bringing itself out of lockdown...” [Candor7, post 7]
Before making any commitments, consider the following:
South Dakota produced George S McGovern, Tom Daschle, Tim Johnson, and a fair number of other liberal Democrats.
South Dakota won’t be coming out of statewide lockdown because there hasn’t been any. Gov Noem has (so far) left it to the discretion of local officials.
No month is entirely free of snow. Blizzards are common. So are high winds. Military personnel assigned here after a tour in Alaska often find winters in South Dakota more trying.
Summers can be dangerously hot and dry. Daily high temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit from July through mid-September. Wildland fires can occur at any time - on the High Plains or in the forests.
Grew up in Colorado. I love extreme weather.
Gov Noem is a force of nature.
She shut Cavuto down with three words in a Fox Nudes interview.
I have no doubt that South Dakota will be be of the first to open.
Why.
She has enough HCQ to treat 100,000 people. It will be employed statewide.
She really has a pistol, and her application of HCQ will show all other states how its done.
I love South Dakota. They have great warehouse sized fireworks emporiums where you can purchase just about anything. So much black powder in their huge warehouse firework stores that your eyes water when you shop there.
If you get hot or cold just stick a little fire cracker in your pocket.
Yep. I’m from NW Iowa, been in and around many parts of SD for many years. Being from AK now. I can handle snow/blizzards.
