The Famous March saying might say, "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb", but we certain left March like a lion this year! Ya gotta love Minnesota's ever-changing weather. They say about our weather, "If you don't like today's weather, just wait a day or two" ~ and how true that is.
Yesterday at 7 a.m. we had practically no snow on the ground - just some here or there in shady spots or where snowbanks were high. Today at 7 a.m., we have 6 inches of fresh snow.
Meteorologists love to work in Minnesota, there is so much variety -- not your typical sunny Florida (although I'd be willing to trade). A local meteorologist has referred to our weather as the "Super Bowl" for meteorologists. And outside of hurricane trackers, I guess this would be hitting the big time as far as weather is concerned. Some of you don't know this, but there was a time when I seriously considered being a meteorologist. I love weather - and love being a trained storm spotter for the NWS. But I never wanted to be a "weather girl" on tv. One of my current local favorite meteorologists is a new young guy named
Sven Sundgaard
- don't ya just love the name - lots of Scandinavians up here.
We are expecting above freezing temps the rest of the week with Friday suppose to reach 55, so this won't last long.
Oh, and just to dispell any rumors that we are rich stuck-up snobs, here is a photo of our snow plow truck...
tee he. Rather embarrassing, but my fil found this gem for only $250 and bought it for us. We did put an addition onto the barn just to help hide it. lol (why do most all their gifts cost us money?). I have yet to ride in that dirty old thing (that we have had for at least 3 yrs) and I highly question the trucks' history with the former owner, but hey, it was cheaper than a hand-push snow blower and does the job - beggers can't be choosers.
Warm Wishes!
