* A WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
* LOOK FOR A RAIN AND SNOW MIX INTO SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL SNOW BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OF 6 INCHES OR MORE ARE POSSIBLE BY MONDAY MORNING.

Ready to tear my freakin hair out over here. I went for a walk and saw the ***** willows starting to fuzz out on Monday. Hope sprang....and then was dashed with this crap.

Edit: yea, I spose they would blurb that one out. The willow trees that are smaller and have white fuzzy things popping out on them before they bud. There sensors, are you happy?
That sucks! You're living on the wrong side of the state. You need to come down a few hundred miles to southern Minnesota. They're just talking rain and T-storms down here. I can deal with the rain and thunder much better than the snow

I don't know why anyone would want to live in Northern Minnesota, winters up there are seven months long and their tundra vegetation sucks way worse than it does down here in the Southern part of the state. Permafrost is the only thing that grows up there and if the temperatures don't kill you the polar bears will.

No, no. You got it all wrong. Manitoba has the 7 month winters. Northern Minn. is only 6 and 1/2 Southern Minn. is 6

Our ducks are back and my tulips are popping up, it's officially spring here when that happens. It's amazing how our ducks show up on April 2nd pretty much every year! Now we just need the ice in our pond to melt so they have a place to swim.

Thats an awesome garden! I love all the trees in the background. BTW, I think Ghengis was being sarcastic. A jab to those people that say we live in the tundra. Did you guys get any snow up there.
It was 62F as a high here today. I actually saw a gartner snake by the swamp today. Must be one of those tundra gartners that hopefully the polar bears or moose will eat up.
