50! *


Spring is finally here--after months of nearly-continuous days below freezing, the temperature shot up to 50 degrees today. Thank the intense sunlight (we're now getting as much sun each day as we did at the end of September) and favorable westerly winds.

To be precise, our home weather station recorded a high of 49.7, which while it isn't precisely 50, it is close enough if you round to the nearest degree. Hence the asterisk.

When it's 50 outside and bright sunshine, the house stays at a comfortable temperature all by itself: I let the stove go out, despite the fact that I'm home this afternoon (with a cold). I can practically see the snow disappearing before my eyes, and the highs are forecast to stay above 40 for pretty much the rest of the week. By this weekend, the snow cover which has persisted since early December may be completely gone.

I love all the seasons in Minnesota, but Spring is easily my favorite, followed closely by Fall. I love those moments when we pass through Perfect while going from one extreme to the other.
