1 Here in, er, Frostbite Falls, MN it was up to the high 50s on Sunday today; we were almost thinking about skinny-dipping in our pond today (well, you can take that with a bunch of salt, since the pond is still frozen over). Kids were out playing on the swings.

By Wednesday we are supposed to expect snow. Give me a break. We had snow two days ago and it's already melted.

2 Yes, it's spring weather a bit early. It was warm here in Missouri too. 

3 In fact, in order to cool things down in the house (we were using the oven) we opened the deck door for about an hour. It was 67 degrees outside. We could have gone outside for a glass of wine if we'd had the time. But we don't have the deck table up, and all that stuff, and after all, it IS supposed to snow in a couple more days...

4 Continuing to yammer about the weather: the app on my phone says we have RIGHT NOW a 65% chance of "frozen mix." I don't know if that means I should check the margarita glasses on my bar, because looking out my office window doesn't show anything coming down from the sky.

Who knows what my wife will encounter when she arises early to drive to church to play mass? The probability of precipitation drops all night, so I doubt she'll have trouble.
