Spring Storm


A week ago we were barely getting above freezing in the daytime. This week, we're staying in the 40's even overnight. Almost all the snow is gone, too.
Such is spring in Minnesota, easily the squishiest and most unpredictable season.

Most years we get a warm spell which melts most of the snow, then an early spring thunderstorm which finishes off the last of the big piles (plus rinses the salt off the roads as a bonus). This year will be no different, with an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, up to an inch possible.

Oh yes, and let's not forget the most important sign of spring: yesterday we cracked the hermetic seal on our house for the first time since October and cranked open some windows to let the fresh air in. She Who Puts Up With Me insisted that I close them in the evening. Actually, She said "If you keep the windows open, then I'm wearing a flannel nightgown to bed." It didn't take me long to decide which option to choose.
