March Has Arrived

Yes, it is now meteorological spring.

Yes, the temperature went above freezing yesterday for the 2nd time this month and above freezing highs are forecast for the whole week ahead.

And yes, today is the deadline to get ice houses off the lakes in S. Minnesota.

But it is still Minnesota. Yesterday Garrison Keillor reminded all us Minnesotans that to wish for anything different than winter, even in March, is not the way the order of nature is. Just because it's March does not mean spring.

We have March to let non-drinkers know what a hangover is like.

Oh well.
