The tulip shoots in our garden are nestled in a half-inch of snow or so this morning - not a lot, but more than we’d like for April. Parts of northern Minnesota - Brainerd and Duluth, for example - had over a foot of snow with the storm system that went through yesterday.

Our thermometer here in south-central Minnesota read 16 degrees this morning and the radio said wind chills were around zero - too cold to ride the bike this morning. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had a record high of 81 degrees. Things will stay cold for the next few days.

Ah, we’re enjoying the weather roller coaster of the Upper Midwest.
