Hello Jason!

Hello and a warm welcome on this windy, chilly , wet Dakota night! I live along i-94 in North Dakota and depending on how far north you are in South Dakota I'll bet the weather is much the same, a bit like Scotland. No I've never been there but I have heard tales. At any rate welcome to the forum ! Come away in and sit a spell!

Slainte'!

Yes indeed, the weather was rather cool middle of last week. And of course, stomping around the pastures of north-central SD tends to get one's knees nice and wet and cold. I actually resorted to wearing a pair of my nice, wool kilt hose with garter ties under my normal work-wear jeans to combat the inevitable morning dew, lol!

As for the wind, I think Wyoming has NoDak and SoDak beat, but not by much. I still maintain that the "W" in Wyoming really stands for wind, and that if you mention it (the wind, that is) on a day when it is relatively calm, it may sense your comfort and come screaming down out of the north to wreck havoc on one's ability to wear a hat or hold a conversation outdoors!

I consider myself a cold-weather kind of guy, so cold wet and snowy doesn't really bother me too much. But cold wet snowy AND windy .... well, that just makes for a long, long day out digging holes or walking transects.

Thanks for the greetings, from Aberdeenshire, SD!
