"The weather is here — wish you were beautiful!" I'm really enjoying the photos my wife is texting from the beach. She's with girlfriends — it's thoughtful of her to provide me with hourly weather updates.
"Paul, will it get up to 82F or 85F?" I love it when people talk about the weather in Mexico, Florida, Arizona and Hawaii! There's a passive/aggressive sweetness to the updates, too. "The palm trees make a great backdrop for selfies! Just be glad you're not down here. It's too hot, and the humidity is just awful!"
Minnesota had its very own one-day spring break Wednesday, with low 50s and giant man-eating puddles. We cool off Thursday with a few flurries Friday. Rain may end as an inch or two of slush Friday night before a blustery weekend cold front. Easter Sunday may bring back fond memories of Groundhog Day with highs near 32 and a wind chill in the teens. Time to dig out the fur-lined bonnet.
There is hope. NOAA model guidance hints at 60s the second week of April, with strong thunderstorms.
