Ah, Minnesota 


The weather here is guaranteed to never be boring. 

Monday it was humid with a high in the 80's. Last night we got three inches of rain at our house (some places in the Twin Cities got five). Fortunately we live on a hill, so flooding is rarely a problem as long as we can keep the water from pooling at the foundation. Others are not so fortunate, and several roads are closed this morning, and lots of people have water in their basements.

Tonight there's a chance of snow, with a low forecast in the 30's.

The good news is that the weekend is supposed to be spectacular: clear, cool but not cold, and dry.

UPDATE: We had another big rainstorm in September, and so area lakes and streams are really full for this time of year. Driving around today, I've found that Lake Smetana (behind my office) is about three feet higher than it was a week ago, and about as high as I've ever seen it. Nine Mile Creek, which feeds Lake Smetana, is actually flowing across Valley View Rd. Wing Lake, near my home, is the highest I've ever seen it, and up onto the road which runs along one side of the lake.
