8 Broadcaster Press November 27, 2018 www.broadcasteronline.com December Climate Outlook Uncertain As El Nino Develops BROOKINGS, S.D. - As El Niño develops in the Pacific Ocean, the month ahead proves to be challenging for climate forecasters, said Laura Edwards, SDSU Extension State Climatologist. "For South Dakota, there is an increased likelihood of wetter than average conditions in the western two-thirds of the state. However, the eastern one-third of South Dakota has equal chances of above, below or near normal precipitation in December," she said, pointing to the December Climate Outlook released November 15, 2018 by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center. There is some confidence that a wetter pattern may affect the Rocky Mountains and just east of that region in the month ahead. The temperature outlook, Edwards said, is less certain for the next several weeks. "A lot of attention has been paid to a developing El Niño in the Pacific Ocean, which has often brought warmer than average temperatures to the Northern Plains in December. This year, however, it is a weak El Niño, and other atmospheric patterns can affect our region as well," she said. Currently, Edwards said climatologists are looking at the atmospheric pattern over the arctic. "The current pattern favors colder than average temperatures over South Dakota, which is contributing to lower confidence in the December Auctions Land & Property • Antiques • Consignments • Farm • Auto & more...

CIH 435, CIH 335, JD 9770, 2004 Peterbilt Semi We will sell the following at public auction located at outlook," she explained. For December through February, the updated outlook indicates that El Niño may be a more significant player after December. "The temperature outlook for the next three months shows elevated chances of warmer than average temperatures overall," Edwards said. She explained that this is consistent with a typical El Niño winter that South Dakota has experienced in the past. Current forecasts show it is about 80 percent likely to develop fully in the winter. One source of uncertainty, Edwards said, a weak El Niño event is forecasted. "Wintertime snowfall or precipitation is generally not well correlated with El Nino in the Northern Plains region," she said. "This year's outlook is consistent with history, and is projecting equal chances of wetter, drier or near average precipitation for the next three months overall." Frozen soils help with 2018 harvest Fall harvest is still underway in South Dakota, particularly corn harvest. Edwards said the recent drier, colder pattern has helped harvest progress in areas of the state where soils were too wet to run equipment. "Soil temperatures are cooling and frost depths for most locations are around four to six inches deep as of November 15," she said. "Frozen soils reduce mud and can ease the burden of heavy machinery on the field." Historical Society Press Takes Gold Literary Classics Book Award PIERRE, S.D.— “Glorious Fourth of July and Other Stories from the Plains,” a book released in December 2017 by the South Dakota State Historical Society, recently received recognition at the 2018 Literary Classics International Book Awards. The book took gold in the Picture Book/Early Reader, General category. “Readers of all ages will delight in the stories of young Catherine growing up in an era in which automobiles were a rare and exciting mode of transportation and the heating of water on a wood-burning stove was the norm,” wrote a Literary Classics reviewer. “Equally appropriate as a coffee-table book and as a read-aloud for classroom reading, this timeless book spans reading audiences of nearly any age as it captures the heart and kindles the imagination.” The organization annually recognizes books from around the globe for their contributions to the craft of writing and illustration for a young audience. “Glorious Fourth of July and Other Stories from the Plains” includes stories and artwork by Catherine Rademacher Gibson, TODD’S as recounted by her daughter Mary Gibson Sprague. From growing up in Watertown, S.D., to travelling to Montana and St. Paul, Minn., episodes from Catherine’s childhood are illustrated by her “memory paintings.” The book shares a narrative common to many plains families who migrated throughout the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. “Glorious Fourth of July” is a testament to the creative spirit and calls readers back to a time when children relied on their own ingenuity to occupy themselves. This honor is the third for “Glorious Fourth of July,” which also won the top prize in the Midwest Independent Publishing Association’s Midwest Book Awards and the Western Writers of America Spur Award.
