Wow, I almost can't believe that we're talking about such a swing in temperatures in just one week! We go from feeling like summer to feeling more like the middle of winter. Here's a look at Saturday's highs since we didn't get to show them on-air due to Football Friday on Saturday. Here's a little trip down memory lane, not so long ago, the high temps from LAST Saturday.

Most places saw temperature drops in the 35 to 40 degree range. Valentine, NE saw temps drop 55 degrees!!! Sioux Falls: a drop of 37 degrees, Chamberlain: 41 degrees, Sisseton: 30 degrees just to name a few. Too bad Mother Nature didn't want to spoil us any longer than she did. I guess it's good news for skiers and snowboarders and all those school kids who missed class :) Better stay bundled up though, chilly conditions will stick around, welcome to winter.
