As some of you know, I've been looking for a job in South Dakota and North Dakota. So I decided to track the daily temperatures on my cell phone. The other day, Fargo, ND had a temperature of 65 degrees and Sioux Falls, SD had a temperature of 95 degrees. What in the world is up with that!? Today they are only a couple of degrees difference. What's normal? Or is there a normal?

Normal? We like to think so.. :)
Oddly enough, the way the fronts move through here, it's common for a block of warm air to stretch from southern ND down to TX.. sorta like a bell curve shape, with Wisconsin being cooler on one side and Wyoming on the other. I found it strange when we moved here from SC. We figured since we were 'norther', it would be generally cooler.
Not necessarily the case.. except in the winter.

Had to get myself geographically realigned. Nebraska just below SD.

Often it is fronts moving through that will make the biggest differences, yet at other times geography plays the biggest role. At times it can be a drastic change with as little as 20 miles seperating 2 points. Look at the average winter temp for Deadwood SD compared to Custer. Generally speaking southern south dakota has much milder winters than North Dakota. Some days its only 5 degrees or so, but often it can be 15 - 20 degrees.
Stay away from Pierre, hot, windy and in the middle of no where. On the other hand Jamestown or Valley city, and Fargo, while all on the same line from E to W, but Jamestown and Valley city are both down in valleys, surrounded by hills, and both average considerably better weather than Fargo.

:lol :lol :lol Ironically Dakota means "Friend" or the Sioux name Lacota which was missed pronounced. So you have your North Friend and South Friend.

The people in SD are Gore supporters that believe in Global Warming and the people in ND aren't?
