Yes, sadly thousands of Nebraska transplants like me continue to long for a taste of our homeland. The Runza. I mean there's a new one in Yankton, but that's like two hours away. And Sioux City is in Iowa, so that's not happening (unnecessary Iowa burn out of nowhere!).

So, take note, do you see any of these signs that winter has it out for us?
