Wow, those words really ring true this time of year. WE were enjoying 40° temperatures all weekend through yesterday. Now today, with the windchill it is -22°. When I went to bed last night the clock we got for Christmas (thanks Dan & Mary) said it was 39° then when we got up it was 5°.
I was looking on one of the local news channels' website to see what they had to say about the "lovely" weather today and found out that South Dakota holds the record for the largest temperature swing ever recorded in North America.
It happened in Spearfish, on January 22, 1943. The temperature at 7:30 a.m. was –4°F. Suddenly, a blast of hot air hit, and two minutes later, the temperature had risen to 45°F, the fastest warmup ever recorded in the U.S. By 8:45 a.m., the temp reached 55°F — before plummeting back to 0°F 45 minutes later.
So I guess we really can say "if you don't like the weather, stick around a minute (or two) and it'll change!
