what is a dust storm?

If you would have asked me this question a couple of months ago, I wouldn’t have been able to answer it.  But now I know.  A dust storm is when you look out your windows and the view that you usually can see is simply not there.  It seems like a combination of all the freshly worked fields and the strong spring winds.  Very fascinating for us newcomers!  It also means that when it is all over and you go to your window (which is closed and locked) and find a layer of sand or fine grit on your window sill.

And yes!  We are really starting to love it here!  J
