It's been a whole day without wine and chocolate. I feel ok but it's winter outside and that makes me want to carb load. Yesterday was worse because I had to shovel 4 inches of wet snow (my neighbor was kind enough to do the front but I still had to do the back - I have awesome neighbors!) but it was the beginning of
"Cold enough for you?" That's the question Minnesotans greet each other with. It's a rhetorical question but one we start using when the temperature dips below freezing for the first time in the fall. Come summer in August we'll ask if it's hot enough too but we don't use that phrase for very long. It's cold here in Minnesota. As I type this it's -6°.
Less than two weeks ago I actually said (back when we had nothing but grass and temperatures above freezing) that I though we might have a mild winter. It's my fault, I jinxed it, I take full responsibility. About a week after I made that stupid prediction it's been snowing ever since and the temperature has barely crawled above 0. Zero! Thankfully I have a
Who'd have thought that posting a picture of lit Christmas lights in April would set off such a heated argument? It snowed last night. It snowed quite a bit and frankly I'm pretty sick of the snow. We've had snow on the ground since Thanksgiving. I know this because my ex husband took me on a motorcycle ride on Thanksgiving and it started to snow
I have, sort of. I actually left the ones from last year up so I didn't have to put those up. Because I am short and am afraid of going to the top of a 20 foot ladder I can't put lights on my roof or my second story window. So my house looks like shit next to my neighbor's. He goes all out
No. No, we will not be having a white christmas this year. There will be no snow in the Twin Cities metro area this year. According to all the local weather people the chance of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area getting any snow before Christmas is about none. In fact, most of Minnesota is without snow right now and will be for the holiday. There might
It sucks. Minnesota summers are just too hot. It's not really fair considering our winters are some of the coldest in the nation. Spring and fall in Minnesota offer about a weekend each of beautiful, mild weather. I'm sick of the heat. I'm sick of running the a/c all day and night, it isn't right and according to Eating Life Raw there is a reason
This is what I woke up to this morning. I'm getting really sick of snow. I know I live in Minnesota and it's a snowy place but even we shouldn't be getting snow in late April. The latest date I can recall it snowing in Minnesota is May 7th. I think it was 1997 because I went to a John Cougar Mellencamp concert that night
None. I even lifted up the dead leaves and other crap that accumulated over the winter. There are no tulips poking up yet. It has been warm, wonderfully so, but there is still too much snow. According to Jonathan that isn't the issue, the angle of the sun is, but whatever the angle of the sun happens to be I am pretty sure the snow
Jonathan Yuhas, my local weatherman at Kare11, said this morning* that by the end of the week we could see some tulips poking through the ground. I don't think so. Temps aren't supposed to be higher than the lower 50s with most nights still reaching the 30s. It was 17 F this morning. I know a lot of you people in the rest of the
