WTF? 78 degrees F... In March... In Minnesota!

My grass is turning green. The maples buds are bursting. Again, :wtf:

1. It'll be back down in a couple of days. Enjoy it. We'll all die one day anyway.

:(

[LNM]

2. You got that right.

We're breaking out the bbq tonight. Hope I don't get flamed for that.

[Deja Q]

3. No, but what you're cookin' on the grill will be!

:9
:D

4. Good one! nt

5. Not unheard of.

My mother's birthday is this week, and she has said for years that sometimes she can golf on her birthday; other times, she shovels snow on her birthday.

8. I agree about the golf and the snowstorms

I've lived here all my life. I know that in the past few years people have golfed in March, hell, they've golfed in January. I also know that we could get a huge snowstorm next week. I've seen it before. April 14th 1983. About 13 inches with our next-door-neighber ready to have a baby. EVERYONE helped clean up the driveway that day. I just don't recall temps this high this early.

9. I do! It was 1986.

It was the day before my mother's birthday. I think the temperature was 81. My boyfriend and I went to Minnehaha Falls, Lake Harriet, and Lake Calhoun that day; there is a picture of us in front of Lake Harriet wearing shorts/bathing suits, and you can see the ice still in the middle of the lake!

6. Time to haul the icefishing house in?

7. Icefishing houses had to be off Mid-Feb in Central and South

and End of Feb in the North, state law.

Just blink and the weather will change. 2ft of snow to 80's in 3 weeks.

10. We had a strange weather day here, too.

Low 50's most of the morning with T-Storms. Then, all of a sudden, the temps shot up into the mid 70's after one of the T-storms passed.

Two weeks ago we had a 'cold day' (day when the temps are too cold for the kids to walk to school) -- today it's early spring in the morning and summer by early afternoon.

I just got home from work and the peepers are singing in the backyard.

:hi: Welcome to DU!
