“This is a serious situation and we need the public’s cooperation to keep South Dakotans, emergency workers, and travelers safe for the next 24 hours,” Gov. Mike Rounds said in a midday statement. “Right now the severe weather is making our response and recovery efforts very difficult. As the weather clears, we’ll have more resources ready to clear the roads and help with the power concerns.”
Winds up to 66 miles per hour were blowing snow around.
Now, it should come to no surprise that this storm was hitting South Dakota in a huge way. The problem? This was in May. Not November, not December, or January, or February… MAY. 2008, I believe. Our last summer in South Dakota. And it snowed in May. Awesome.
Moving on to our next state, Delaware. The one winter we lived there (last year) they coined the phrase 'Snowmageddon' referring to what President Obama said was the biggest snowstorm in nearly 90 years and was the 2nd, 3rd and even 4th significant winter storm for some parts of the Mid Atlantic states this winter season.
Delaware set the all-time record for the heaviest snowfall in the state's history with 26.5 inches of snowfall in Wilmington. More awesomeness for us.
Then we arrive to this winter. New state (again). And what do the headlines read today?
Boston Local News Update: Snowpocalypse 2011
Since Dec. 1, Boston has received 60.3 inches of snow, which is 40.2 inches above normal, according to the weather service.
Conclusion? If you want good weather, you’d better pray we don’t move to your state! Bad weather follows us. On vacations, on work days, on weekends, wherever. Doesn’t matter. We bring it. Your welcome, Boston. XOXO
You totally crack me up. The weather today in SD is horrible. Every school in the state is closed except for SF. The wind chill is -22. Holla!
