First Day of Spring!

It's the first day of spring! 

The hot topic around here these days has been the weather. It's been the source of disgust and complaint. Us Minnesotans are good at that, complaining about the weather. I think most of us couldn't be more sick of hearing about winter, cold, snow and the lack of spring. But, then again, if we didn't have this to complain about, we'd just find another gripe. Am I right?

It hasn't been colder than this, on the first day of spring, for 48 years, since 1965, when the high was 15. This is what we are dealing with. Today our predicted high is roughly 21. We got additional snow a couple of days ago and it's more than 20 degrees colder than it should be. We are drowning in winter.

That aside, I hold onto the promise of spring and that warmer weather will soon arrive. Even with the extra snow and colder temps there has been signs of a thaw. In the sun, snow has been melting off the roof and from tree branches. Leaving icicles dripping toward the snow packed ground.

It will warm up, it will warm up, it will warm up. And that darn snow will melt. It WILL {eventually}. 

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!
