Down to 0 at MSP this morning.

MSP eeked out a low of -1 this morning. We’ve now had a low temperature at or below zero for 14 of the past 15 days.

I’ll bite. I enjoy it immensely. I would much rather work outside in a week of -10/+10 temps then 90+ with 70+ dews. I’m outside 80% of the time with my job so I have experience in all weather Minnesota can throw at me. I’m a diehard skier too so that’s an added reason I love deep winter. I’m ready for a pattern shakeup so we can get some fresh snow. There has only been one calendar day snowfall of 1” this month at MSP. I think it’s kinda strange how much you bitch and moan about the weather in a region you don’t frequently visit, but hey it’s a free country.
