I had to wade through 5 inches of snow going to the office this afternoon. It is supposed to be spring season in Brookings, South Dakota. But the weather doesn't say so.
A couple of days ago, it felt like spring has finally arrived, with the blooms starting to appear. Opps, wrong. As my American friends jokingly said "There is no spring in Brookings".They are probably right. At this time of the year, Brookings should have been enjoying sun-shinny days. But ridiculously, blizzard/severe winter storm warnings were up the whole day. Snow plus strong wind is equal to a terrible day outside. Blizzards have created a dangerous condition. Vehicles were warned of icy slash slippery slash risky roads. The roads were not shoveled promptly and pathways too.
I walked from home to the office with my head a little bowed to cover my face from the raging snow falling somewhat sideways. It was a terrible flight. It was the longest 10 minutes of my life ever!
Wishing tomorrow would be fine...
I want sunshine. I want greens. I want spring.
Here are photos of the Brookings blizzard.
