Another foot of snow at my house (so far). Arrrgh. We get nothing all winter and now we've had over 3 feet in April. This is ridiculous!
Sorry, I just needed to vent.

Yeah I am at work til 6 and I hope this lazy town has plowed before then. I don't think there is even close to a foot here but maybe 6 inches.

Maybe it was late last week that it was 70 out. I don't remember. I am sure someone will correct me if I was wrong.
No I don't think it is normal for the weather to shift so much. The latest it has snowed around here in the past is May 28th.

Yeah, we just had a couple inches of rain and flash flood warnings just 3 days ago. It's been a crazy April.
I've got 5 foot drifts in my driveway and it is still snowing and blowing. It's gonna be a fun Sunday.

Sorry to hear about it. I've been telling people here in Chicago that it's way worse in my home town (Minneapolis).

Summer in northern Minnesota is basically 3 months long, June through August. The lakes in the north will be ice-free by mid-May but the leaves won't be out until the end of May-early June. The leaves will start changing towards the end of August and will be at peak color mid-September. Snows start falling again in October. The season is probably about a month longer in the Twin Cities.
I do love it here, though.

The snow here should melt by mid week. I guess I can't complain much, it is easy at school to avoid the weather. It also is nice cause I have a million projects and tests to study for. Spring fever is put off a couple weeks. My luck the great weather will be during finals and it will be hot when I'm moving to the cities.
