Wacky Weather

It's December 15th. It's 55 degrees outside and it's raining. Oh, and this is South Dakota. This is weird. Mind you if temps were normal for this time of year soon we would be shoveling this precip off the driveway. I'm all for the festive white Christmas but humbug on the shoveling already!

My obviously malfunctioning thermometer still reads 55 even though the rain has turned to snow. Bleah. Checking the local weather on the internets informs me that the current temperature is 27 degrees. Cue up White Christmas!
