I'm talking about our really weird "spring" weather here in Minnesota. Usually, by this time of the year it's sunny and warm; everything looks so new and fresh, especially the flowering trees. It's just a beautiful and delightful time of the year.
But not this year. This "sring" has been colder than normal, and they even got large amounts of snow in northern MN recently. And btw, the fishing season opens here this weekend and I have heard that some of the northern lakes still have ice on them!!!!!
So instead of warm and sunny it's drab and dreary almost all the time. We had one good day (Tuesday) when the temp got up to about 75, and after that it just went downhill right away. Now the temps can barely make it into the low 60's. All the plant life is growing REALLY slowly, the trees are just barely starting to leaf out, and the flowers are finally starting to grow; the trees by my garage have buds on them but they haven't opened yet. The plant life really should be farther along by now.
I've asked my mon and some other older people about this weather, and they've never seen anything like it either so I'm really starting to wonder what kind of "summer" we're going to have here this year.
