Actually, weather people say South Dakota is experiencing a fairly average winter, but we've been spoiled by several mild winters in a row. Tuesday was an example that sticks in my mind. The sky was clear and sunny, but the wind kept the powdery snow in the air. The way the snow danced and drifted through the open fields near the USD campus was really a beautiful sight, appealing in a way that those who don't know the prairie maybe can't relate to. I'm all for staying warm, but after several years of little snow, I am greatly enjoying the beauty of a South Dakota winter.
