March Enters
Trivia: Did you know that in March the temperature records in Minnesota are truly awesome. They range from -50F to +88F. That's 138 degrees.

That's one of the reasons that Minnesota is considered one of the few places in the world with such incredible weather extremes possible. Many places have one extreme or another- we seem lucky enough to have more than our share. This is a land of tornadoes and blizzards and damaging thunderstorms and crippling ice storms and stifling humidity and bone-numbing cold. The state isn't that big, barely 300 miles or so from top to bottom. It doesn't cross any major weather zones- we are all in one zone.

But right now, we're just moving along above seasonal norms. We'll see.
