t seems to me a few days ago the weather predictions for today here were a lot like sunny and 50F degrees. But, fog was thick enough this morning that anything more than 300 to 500 feet away nearly disappeared. Temperature was below freezing. Anyway, the rime frost all over was here and there interesting. The neighbor's mailbox this morning looked like a Norwegian rosemaler had been busy with a narrow white paint brush.
By this afternoon most of the frost around had disappeared. Delivery truck drivers bring goods to Winner early this morning said driving was terrible.
I wish that the South Dakota Highway Department, KELO-TV, Golden West, and the Lil' Fellow convenience store would get together and put road cameras on the Lil Fellow flagpole which mostly now never has a flag on it. That point with cameras to the North, east, and west would let people know what the actual weather and road conditions are here before they drive into a local mess or for that matter see how much better the weather usually is here compared to South Dakota north or east of here.
