All of nature bares witness to the time — Rapid City sees earliest snowfall since 1888

(Note: With all of these things taking place, one right after the other, there should be no doubt anymore as to the time and what is taking place in this time. It is a dreadful time. It is a terrific time.

All of nature has been turned against America to bring her low. In essence…..”We do not have to ask anyone whether or not this warning of the Holy Qur’an is now being fulfilled. We see the fulfillment of this prophecy with our eyes and hear with our ears, these great calamities that are now striking America. We see the great division, the great disagreement, disunity and murder of men. We see the great amount of raping and murdering of girls and women. There is great robbery and thieving going on every hour of the day and night.

There are great storms and adverse weather conditions.“–Chp.54(tfoa)—–

Rapid City sees earliest snowfall since 1888

An early September winter storm in the Black Hills has dumped up to 8 inches of snow in the area, while Rapid City received its earliest snowfall in more than 120 years.

Jon Chamberlain, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Rapid City, said almost 1 inch of snow had fallen in downtown Rapid City by 8:30 a.m. while 2 inches was measured in higher elevations in town.

The snowfall in downtown Rapid City is the earliest in the city since 1888, the NWS said. The previous early snowfall mark was seven-tenths of an inch on Sept. 13, 1970.

Chamberlain said while it is unusual for Rapid City to see snowfall this early, it isn’t for the Black Hills.

“It’s a little on the high side, though,” he said.

Downtown Custer reported 8 inches of snow, while 7 inches was reported at Mount Rushmore. Other snowfall totals: 6 inches five miles south of Hill City; 4,5 inches in HIll City and 4 inches in Sundance, Wyo.

Chamberlain said roads in the Black Hills are staying relatively snow-free because the snow is melting once it hits the pavement and ground.

Meanwhile, a freeze warning has been issued western South Dakota, including the Black Hills, through Friday morning. The NWS says many areas might experience a hard freeze as temperatures are expected to dip into the 20s and even teens in the Black Hills.

The high will be 51 Friday, 60 on Saturday, 62 on Sunday and 67 on Monday.
