We keep hearing of the weather in South Dakota. We are getting texts from family and friends and great neighbors who are helping take care of the place while we vacation.

The winter of 2015-2016 is shaping up to be a good one. Yesterday I read that this has Sioux Falls has seen top ten amounts of snow falling from October to the end of the year.

Luckily, most of what snow did fall during the fall season melted before more snow came. And while some were disenchanted by not having a White Christmas Eve certainly got what they wanted Christmas Day.

Now, we hear of additional snow coming for the Sioux Falls area. Anywhere from 5-8 inches of additional accumulation is on the way for Tuesday.

Monday
Snow, mainly after noon. The snow could be heavy at times. Patchy blowing snow after noon. High near 19. Blustery, with a northeast wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of around 5 inches.
Monday Night
Snow. Patchy blowing snow before midnight. Low around 15. Blustery, with a north northeast wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of around 3 inches.
Tuesday
A chance of snow, mainly before noon. Cloudy, with a high near 22. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
I do feel a little bit guilty writing this story. Our neighbor Al has had a LOT of snow removal to do while we're gone. And it looks like there is more on the way. He was excited a few weeks to get something to move with his new snow thrower. It looks like he'll be familiar with his new toy by the time we get back.
Like I said, I feel a bit guilty. Our family has been vacationing in South Florida this past week. We missed the Christmas storm, and we'll miss Tuesdays round of snow too. It's been warm down here. 84 for the high yesterday as we toured the Florida Everglades. Should be around 80 for the high temp. As I write this, it's minus one in Sioux Falls. And I'm headed outside to the pool right now.
Every once in a while you hit it right. We might have this time.  This once!
