Having lived my entire life in the middle of the country, I've grown up 
hearing the phrase "If you don't like the weather in (fill in your 
favorite state name), just wait a few minutes".   The same thing applies 
to space weather, i.e. HF propagation conditions.

As proof, this was just tweeted by the ARRL as I'm reading this thread:

Solar flux was 144 earlier today and the sunspot number was 122. "Enjoy 
the propagation".
