I hate when the Farmers at the Farmers’ Almanac are right

Last summer all the talk was that the Farmers’ Almanac said the 2008-2009 winter was going to be more "typical" or what we interpreted as "old fashioned."
Today it is below zero and we’ve got plenty of snow to make Christmas white. It went above zero for a few hours today, but I don’t think the [...]

April Showers

This year are in the form of snow.
Hopefully the State High School League will cancel/reschedule the baseball games scheduled for today and tomorrow. Just saying.

Sticky, Sloppy and Cold

If only it really were an April’s Fool  Joke. As I’ve said before, the good thing about March snow is that you are certain that it won’t last long. April snow is even shorter lived.
That doesn’t change the fact that we’ve had snow on the ground now for over 4 months straight. That’s a long [...]

And pressing my lips together firmly to keep the screams from coming out.

That is all.

Saturday Phot Scavenger: uh….

“I’m Dreaming of a White Easter?”
March snow never lasts long. Spring will really come. Eventually.
When I went to bed last night around 11:30, I thought we were done with the snow. But I awoke to find another couple of inches freshly fallen. It’s heavy and wet and sticks to everything.
And, no. For the record, I [...]

Holly Cole at The Dakota

I am so glad I spent the money on myself to go to hear her! I probably didn’t need to splurge on a Walleye Cesear and a scotch, but I did anyway.
As the set started I realized that I haven’t been to see live Jazz since I was in New York City in 2000. That [...]

spring

Yesterday the temperatures hit the 40’s around here. Today, they said maybe even the mid-40’s. The snow is beginning to melt. Little tufts of garden plants beginning to show.
I will be in a class (inside) from 8-5 again today. And then a mad dash to church for the Wednesday night “usual.”
I’m yearning to be out [...]

End of Meteorological Winter

According to our Minnesota Public Radio weather office, this was the last weekend of meteorolgical winter. Astronomical winter doesn’t end until March 21 but apparently, in this part of the world, the weather is finally going to start being spring. Today, cooperated a bit. The high this afternoon was 38 degrees. It did feel nice. [...]
