Shot In The Dark: Truer Words

Truer Words

Mr. Beano from the Persistent Burrito notes

-Curious meteorological event today in Minnesota. It rained. Just in case you're the kind of person who loses track of the date, it's January. Yes, that's the month when it's cold (except for Australia, Pele-land, and Chad (not the Elder, the country). Getting rain in January is like getting a smile and an autograph from Barry Bonds; it just never happens. "Never say never, Mr. Bond".

This is the strangest winter since 1986-87; starting with a roar, ending (?) with a whimper.

Did I just compare this winter to a winter 20 years ago?

Ooof.

Here is one even stranger than that. I was out to visit my daughter in Bismarck and saw 14 robins by her dorm room. On the way back to Fargo I saw a flock of Canadian geese going north! It's January, not March.

I moved to Minnesota from Washington, D.C. in the fall of 1986, and the "wimp winter" we had in 86-87 was my first taste of Minnesota winter. Given the mild winter that season, my thought at the time was that Minnesota was America's best kept secret.

Hmmmm....I'm thinking maybe Target has been a bit prescient after all!
