Looking for silver lining...
I’ll get the BBQ sauce if someone has the charcoal and beer.
Get that global warming off my lawn.
This was a bit unfortunate.
While Climate Change Channel was heartbroken over the fail of Karen, they were able to switch panic mode to Winter Storm Atlas.
Awful. Meanwhile, here in Vermont, so far it’s been warmer than usual. We have had several frost warnings, but as yet not a single solid freeze, which is very unusual in our part of the state.
The Farmer’s Almanac and the woolly bear caterpillars are both forecasting a colder winter than usual. Well, I hope we don’t get anything like this storm in South Dakota. Cows are still out here. They don’t usually leave the pastures until after the first snowfall.
From my trips through W SD, they could use more “loafing” sheds.
We live just 10 miles west of Rapid City, SD. It looks like Armageddon here. We finally got electric power about three hours ago..............but so many do not have power yet. We have 12 foot drifts around our house. Thankfully, we have a snowplow and generator. This is such a heavy, wet snow. On our forty acres, we counted about 700 trees (ponderosa pine) down. Anyone need firewood? I’m a “prepper”, so we have plenty of food and water stored, but so many don’t. We were finally able to make it to town late this afternoon for milk, bread, produce, etc., but the shelfs were nearly bare. The stores are hoping to get supply trucks in sometime tomorrow. We were able to help some of our neighbors with essential groceries.
This was a “wake up” call for every one to “prep”.
Duh!!
Chipped beef...
Damn. I’m nursing a sunburned neck from a few hours at the shooting range Saturday morning. Had to use mosquito spray on my legs because I wore shorts.
Will Al Gore compensate them for their losses?
They’re having a special sale on “Frozen Beef” on the hoof.
Bring your tow truck and a winch. Enough food for a community BBQ at cut rates.
Damned that global warming!

Slaughterhouses better rock
Wow, that global warming will get you every time.
Its do to global warming.
Ask Algore.
My ex-husband is a native South Dakotan, and even after all these years, I think of him and how he is doing. Having spent a few winters there, I have nothing but admiration for the people who love the place enough to stay.
