The End of Winter

Flippist World Headquarters, Anoka, Minnesota, February 21, 2014

Today should be the last full day of below freezing temperatures this year. If the long range forecasts are to be believed we shouldn’t have any freezing temps at all in April  which should hold until November. This winter was notable here for the snow and the continuous cold. We didn’t have that much more snow than usual, but what we did have stayed the whole winter—no thawing in January or February to speak of—so whatever fell just stayed.

I’m beginning to think I should spend winters somewhere warmer like Iceland where it was consistently 30-50°F warmer than here!
