Living in Sioux Falls means dealing with every weather extreme! My buddy and I experience four distinct seasons, & while each offers particular opportunities, they also bring their own challenges, but the annual temperature fluctuates from a low of six degrees to a high of eighty-five degrees, & the skies tend to be cloudy, however sioux Falls averages 45.3 inches of snow, which requires a lot of shoveling, plowing & scraping.
The snow-covered landscapes & frozen lakes are entirely appealing & create the perfect conditions for ice skating, hockey, sledding & ice fishing.
In Sioux Falls, it’s necessary to own a four-wheel-drive vehicle, & heavy boots. My buddy and I keep rock salt on hand & take easily nice care of the home’s heater. I constantly run the boiler for eight straight months. I look forward to the long-awaited thaw of Springtime. The neighborhood bursts into the color of blooming flowers & it’s finally possible to go for a hike, run or bike ride… While Summer temperatures in the eighties don’t last all that long, most residents of Sioux Falls make the most of them. There are plenty of festivals, outdoor events & live songs to enjoy, then one of my favorites is the Sioux Falls JazzFest, usually held during the third week in June at Yankton Trails Park, the festival always includes an amazing lineup of jazz, reds, reggae, Latin, rock, soul & funk artists. They perform on two stages & around 76,000 people show up. Along with good songs, there’s all odd varieties of delicious food. The warmer weather is also a opening to fully cherish the scenic beauty of Big Sioux River. Although the arrival of fall means that winter is once again right around the corner, the colors of the leaves are nothing short of amazing, then plus, I honestly cherish peach picking & the array of fresh fruits & vegetables available.
