  Minnesota.

  For the record, it usually snows a lot in march- usually on the twins home opener in April.

  (This is nature’s way of saying how nice it is we built them an open stadium… even though they suck.)

    Minnesota? Well hell, you guys only have about 3 months you don’t need snow tires. And for one of those it’s 90°/90% humidity often as not. But you have walleye! Best fish I ever tasted.

    like a week or so ago we were in the 70’s. It’s been a chaotic year.

    But at least you got a time machine out of the deal, so it isn’t ALL bad 😛

    Of course it’s going to snow this weekend, it’s the state basketball tournament.

    Another Minnesotan here, as of 5am it’s currently 5F, (that’s -15C for those living in Rio Linda or Boca Raton). We might hit 15F/-9C for a high today. But I also live north of Frostbite Falls too. So enjoy your warm cozy day!

      There’s something wrong with me.

      I actually prefer -40 to 30’s (0’s) amd 40’s (4.4).

      When it’s that cold you really don’t have people out and about causing mischief (and I work in security.) also, it’s not that bad if you have the gear for it, and finally, you don’t have worry as much about getting soaked.

      40’s and rain? It seeps. And nothing wholesome ever seeps.

        I’m fine with it too. Cold and snow isn’t much of an issue for me. But I have had a mild heat stroke before so I’d rather be cold than hot.

        Having just checked the forecast, I see we are now looking at 10 to 25 inches of snow and high winds starting on Sunday and lasting through Monday. I could do without that…So I suppose I should pick up the tractor tire from the shop and get that mounted and check to make sure the emergency genset is working properly.
