One of the most beautiful sights around FAR is a drive through the wheat fields around midnight at the full moon before the harvest.
Another fun time is "The January Thaw". As a counter to the usual weatherperson on TV throwing a cup of water into the air and watching it freeze before it hits the ground or using a banana as as hammer, a bunch of folks I know wait for the temp to get to 32 F and head outside in shorts and t-shirts to grill hamburgers and hotdogs. Naturally, the beer's chilling in a snowbank. Way cool!!!

Only experienced this once on the way to my mother-in-law's for Christmas about 20 years ago. Traveling on I-94 visibility just went to zero. Fortunately we were close to an exit & got off the freeway, and we actually did drive into town (Osakis, about 2 miles off I-94) with the windows rolled down & eyeballing the ditches. We got the last room in the motel.
Growing up in Nebraska (62-68) we were told that people had actually drowned in blizzards.

Israel was the bomb. I spent half day entering and existing the country.
They kept asking why I'm only there 1 night.
