Friday - January 27, 2006 at 09:14 PM inSpringtime?
Make a note of this: Spring arrived in Minneapolis on January 27th, 2006.
The meteorologists will claim that spring doesn't arrive until the end of March; and most years we don't actually see it until April sometime. But today it was unmistakable. It wasn't just the warm weather (upper 40's for a high) and the fact that there's a 70% chance of rain tomorrow, nor the rapidly disappearing snow. It was the fact that all five senses positively screamed SPRING every time I went outside. The warmth and humidity of the air on my skin. The thawing ground squishing under my feet. The distinctive odor of melting mud. It is supposed to cool down a little more next week, but only down into the 30's. That's still unseasonably warm for this time of year. In fact, we have had an unbroken sting of unseasonably warm days since before Christmas, with no sign of it letting up. This may go down as the year without a winter in Minnesota.
