Living in Sioux Falls means dealing with every weather extreme.
We experience four distinct seasons, and while each offers unique opportunities, they also bring their own challenges.
The annual temperature fluctuates from a low of six degrees to a high of eighty-five degrees, and the skies tend to be cloudy. Sioux Falls averages 45.3 inches of snow, which requires a lot of shoveling, plowing and scraping. The snow-covered landscapes and frozen lakes are certainly beautiful and create the perfect conditions for ice skating, hockey, sledding and ice fishing. In Sioux Falls, it’s necessary to own a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and heavy boots. We keep rock salt on hand and take very good care of the home’s heating system. I typically run the furnace for eight straight months. I look forward to the long-awaited thaw of spring. The city bursts into the color of blooming flowers and 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 and live music to enjoy. One of my favorites is the Sioux Falls JazzFest. Usually held during the third week in July at Yankton Trails Park, the festival always includes an amazing lineup of jazz, blues, reggae, Latin, rock, soul and funk artists. They perform on two stages and around 75,000 people show up. Along with great music, there’s all different varieties of delicious food. The warmer weather is also a chance to fully appreciate 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. Plus, I really love apple picking and the array of fresh fruits and vegetables available.
