Extremes - but this is Minnesota, after all...

Yesterday it was warm and slightly muggy. In the evening, we were under a tornado watch. Heavy rain fell around 7:30 p.m. and again after midnight. Tornadoes were spotted west of the Twin Cities. At the same time, northeastern Minnesota was under a winter weather watch and by this morning, schools across the area were closed. In the Twin Cities, we had blasts of snow throughout the morning, although no accumulation - just snow and cold, cold winds. A winter coat, mittens and a hat felt really good. And I'm glad I was wearing my longjohns.

And this is what makes this spring so challenging - tomorrow I won't need them - we're going to be back in the 60s. Minnesota - either you love the wacky weather or you need to leave!
