By now, just about everyone has heard of Frankie MacDonald! If you haven't, Frankie is based out of Sydney, Nova Scotia, and he is always doing his duty of letting us know when bad weather is heading our way.

Well, Frankie is back and apparently, so is another storm.

According to Frankie, a major storm will hit South Dakota on Wednesday March 30, 2016, bringing 30+ mm of rain, wind-driven rain and sideways rain to Sioux Falls. As for the Black Hills of South Dakota and Rapid City, South Dakota, the storm will start off as rain then it will change over to snow, bringing 20 to 30+ cm of snow.  The winds will be very strong and it will create blowing and drifting snow.

But Frankie doesn't just help us out with impending storm details, he also cares about our well being, reminding residents of Sioux Falls to

not walk through the puddles - avoid the puddles - while you are walking. Drink lots of green tea, white tea, red tea and drink lots of green tea to keep you warm.

Frankie also says it will be a good idea to have

your iPads, iPods, cell phones, laptops and tablets charged and have your 3G and 4G internet ready. When you are driving your car take your time driving your car and slow down so you don't get in the car accident.

Thanks for the heads up on this and for taking care of us, Frankie! Here's what Frankie's forecast is saying:
