This is spring?


After one of the wettest winters on record, the northern Black Hills of South Dakota continues to have some unusual weather.

Just three days ago (4/23/09) Spearfish hit a record high April temperature of 84 degrees. This information (along with an abundance of weather data that only an old TV weatherman or weather junkie might fully appreciate) can be found at the Tmax Weather Center.

By today (4/26/09) snowfall was again prevalent throughout the northern hills. We took a ride up scenic Spearfish Canyon and caught a glimpse of Bridal Veil Falls, which is shown here and seems to be flowing at near record amounts. It was a veritable "winter wonderland" throughout the canyon -- and well worth the drive for those in the immediate area. But hurry, it can't last long -- after all, we are in the second month of spring!
