I can't say we are enjoying it but the Dakotas are under going a heat wave. The result is a lot of mud, in what shoulg be grain fields being prepared for planting in Mid May through mid June although we will probably get our final spring snow early in May.
HOT HOT HOT and very uncomfortable this early in the year. Our high today was at least 75 when I last looked at 4 PM, it may have reached 80

Wow that it warm. But just think, the record for Marion is 94f in 1952.

In 1952 I was in Jr High and looking forward to the first day of Trout season which back then was the 3rd Saturday in May. I was in East Granby Connecticut then, when it still had cold clear trout streams.
This is my 5th May in the Dakotas. Last year was the first since I been here we did not have at least one heavy snow storm in May. I expect we will get hit with at least one more cold blast before May is over.
Pics aren't too exciting but this is our SIGN OF SPRING!!!
She's broken, moving fast and rising... I don't think we will have an ice jam though (ice had rotted more than usual this year). Larger chunks are under water but no where near as thick as I've seen other years. Police blocked people from entering the park shortly before we left.
Loud cracks to be heard when the ice broke (other years when the ice is really thick it sounds like dynamite). Quickly took out a couple of trees within seconds of break-up.
We heard some river park residents sandbagged and left (very few were going to take a chance with the snowfall we had this year).
23c and partly sunny. Hoping for some rain today, earth is bone dry.
Good thing is that May looks wetter and stormier than average.
