Fun fact

Seasons aren’t what they were, my friend! These days, we’re shocked to see the temperature drop by 10 or even 15°C in just a few days. But that’s nothing compared to South Dakota’s wildly variable temperatures. The American state even holds the world record. On 22 January 1943 in the small town of Spearfish, the temperature rose from -20°C to 7°C… in just two minutes!
