Yeah, that's so true.. I got a breeze too now and feels dry. Breathable. No complaints (as I'm in the shade). What would these anomalies translate as if it was in July? I guess upper 90s?

But I just wanted at least 2 months of spring. What happened to the 50s and 60s? Lol

What's crazy now is, 60s will feel real chilly and meanwhile that would be near normal.

That's what I wanted in March and April, at this point something warmer is a nice reward.

So did I, back in March lol. But I'm fine with May being summery this year, especially after the winter we just endured.

Wunderground is forecasting 5-8 inches of snow for Rapid City, SD on Sunday. I was wondering how uncommon that much snow was there this time of year, so I Checked on NOWData and found out that the latest 5 inch or greater snowfall of the season was on May 11th 2005, and the latest 8 inch or greater snowfall of the season was on May 2nd 2008. If Rapid City gets more than 7.5 inches on Sunday (7.5 inches fell on May 11th 2005.) then it will be the latest in the season to have gotten that much snow!

And Rapid City is so much warmer than us this winter! The high plains is prone to big swings in the spring. Rapid City has about the same averages as us. But once winter is done here, it's done.
