The Joy of Living on the Prairies!

The Prairies or the Great Plains, whichever you prefer, are a wide open space where weather fronts play tag. A great example is today. Currently it is 56 F, cloudy but unseasonably warm. Tonight, our forecast low is 16 F with blizzard conditions! We are expected to receive 2"-3" of snow, with a high tomorrow of 24 F, and a low tomorrow night of 0 F.

Sometimes I question the wisdom of my forebears settling here, but then I remember they came from northern Europe. The weather here might have been an improvement!

  1. So interesting. We in New England have similar yoyo weather, the fluctuations are wild. We just noticed that the days are already staying light just a bit longer now. We are all headed in the right direction! Put an extra log on your woodstove tonight. :)

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
