Snowfall in Sioux Falls, SD...how about you?
56.2 inches for the 2009/2010 winter, as of 3/1/10. Is that a lot? I think it is. The average snowfall in Sioux Falls, SD is 39.2 inches. It is still quite possible we could exceed our average by nearly 2 feet. 2 feet!! I've always felt as if being average would not be my ticket to success. I will now settle for a little underachievement. We're down to only 14 inches on the ground. At this rate, I should see my front lawn by May 1.
Even though we've had a lot of snow, at least it's been cold...30 below zero cold. If we're going to be complaining about the snow, at least it's also miserably cold with even a more miserable windchill. A while back I was outside moving some snow on a Saturday morning. The air temp was a calm 27 below zero. By the time it warmed up to zero, I was ready to shed a coat. That means I'm getting used to it...I don't want to get used to it! Thankfully though, people have continued to purchase homes here throughout the winter months.
Eric Lanspa...who the heck is he?
If I sound a little cynical towards the weather and snowfall in Sioux Falls, SD that's because I/we are growing tired of it. It's been a long winter here in the upper Midwest. I realize some parts of the country would not find this unusual. Others of you may be aghast. Suffice it to say, spring is going to be welcomed here in Sioux Falls, SD. In several months it may be 105 degrees with 70% humidity. Trying to comprehend a 135 degree temperature differentiation is difficult, but yet I continue to live here.
How about where you live? How has your winter been? Warm climates need not respond ;)
