January thaw?

In the Minneapolis area we usually have a few days in January where it gets warm enough for the snow piles to melt at least part way down. We call this the January thaw.

This year the January thaw came in February. The last two days were sunny with temperatures above freezing and most of the snow on our balcony disappeared.

Which, of course, led to this today:

snow

 

Ah, the joys of living in Minnesota in the winter.

TTYL,

Linda

  1. Oh dear…. I remember those sort of views too well. After a lifetime in WI, this is the first winter we’ve been away from the snow and it’s been a blessing. But with family still in Milwaukee we get to hear all the news and it’s been one tough winter. Our condolences. But, just think, just 2 or 2 1/2 more months and maybe all the snow will be gone. …. wait…. that’s not much of a consolation at all, is it?

  2. At least you don’t have to go out in it. But by now it would be getting old. My daughter in Virginia has had enough too. They had so many snow days, my granddaughter didn’t get her presidents day holiday.

  3. I would send you some warmth if I could. However, technology hasn’t advanced that much …. yet!

  4. It sure has been a harsh winter all over. It got up to 70 degrees here today and it looks as though we may see ice tomorrow. 🙁
