Yet another occurence of extremes in Minnesota weather: Saturday was gloriously warm. We even set a new record high temperature of 69F. And that amazing weather triggered not only thunderstorms, but even sprawned two tornadoes in Dakota County! Now they were only EF0 tornadoes, but that means the winds were still around 80 m.p.h. Trees came down, branches in the streets. Quite a show.
But it gets better - balmy temps and tempests on Saturday morphed into a cold and windy Sunday resulting in Monday's wake-up call of, yes - that's right - SNOW! Looking out my bedroom window, I saw white roofs and a snow-covered street. Flurries twirled through the air and the birdfeeders were like Grand Central station with juncoes, finches, chickadees, and cardinals zooming back and forth from feeder to bushes to trees and back. It was heavyweight longjohn weather.
What a change from Saturday. But that's Minnesota for you!
