Hard to believe. No snow on the ground, windy, but WAY warmer than January 27th in South Dakota is supposed to be. I may have to retire my snowblower. Not complaining, but this is definitely not normal.
Supposed to be 44* (degrees) here today...

Fahrenheit or Centigrade/Celsius?
OP
Can't remember the conversion equation, but I'm pretty sure the local weather people don't know it either, so I'd say it would likely be fahrenheit don't you think?
OP
There always has to be a smarty pants.Fahrenheit for me. We have NO idea about turd
Lol. But YOU also have the same fun sense of humorThere always has to be a smarty pants.

By the way, 50* (degrees) Fahrenheit tomorrow. Wow, January in South Dakota? Of course, 15 to 20 mph winds, but still.
It was around 40 in north MO yesterday with a bit of wind so not a bad day for outside work. By late afternoon, it was warm enough inside the unheated shop to work bare handed. I made some progress on the project tractor, aired up tires on the header wagons so the buyer can drag them away (soon I hope), and 1/2 dozen other tasks that were put off due to the cold temps. Supposed to be even warmer today so hoping to get the FORD 8N started and blade down some of the tracks made 2 weeks ago when it was muddy.
We got down into the 40s for a few days. Wow this is weird to have the same temps as S. Dakota.

Living here for 40 some years, nothing but
the History of Cyclic Weather changes.
Next year will be all different.

My grandson graduated from a technical college called WyoTech in Laramie two years ago. Before that he thought going off the grid in Wyoming would be a great adventure. One winter in Wyoming cured him of that notion. He said they should change the state flag to blowing icicle images.

Your story reminds me very well of why
I like it here, the cold weather keeps
the riff-raff out.
Not insulting you but you get my
drift.

I understand. We used to think that way in Idaho. But then covid happened. Since then, we have been buried under Californians. I miss the old days.

South Dakota is a terrible place to live. Don't even consider moving here. We have enough problems already. Even the governor is leaving.

Yep. I was joking about retiring the snowblower. It occupies a prominent place in my garage and will continue to do so. IIRC just a year ago (maybe two) we had close to three feet of snow on the ground at this time of year in Sioux Falls. And below zero temps (Fahrenheit).

Yes, South Dakota is the most ugly, barren,
and has the most unpredictable climate
change weather in the U.S., period.
I have known several visitors driving for
hours across this State seek out psychiatric
help afterwards.
Not a place for dog owners who can’t dispatch
a bad untrainable dog.
Non-independent thinkers need not apply. lol
In 2013, my girlfriend (now wife) went on a cross-country road trip to Yellowstone and beyond. It was summertime and I had been talking about the idea of retiring to Wyoming. I might have convinced her, had she not seen a horse grazing next to a long log structure that was 5 times taller than he was. She asked what it was, and I replied that it was a snow fence. From that point forward, it was "Oh, HELL no, we are NOT moving to a place that needs 2 story snow fences!".

Forecast 63° per WeatherBug.
Currently 49* here, will probably get a couple degrees warmer. The 20 mph winds diminish the excitement of a nice day though.
