Weather Craziness in Minnesota

No one ever said the weather in Minnesota was boring! Yesterday, we had a high temp of 97 degrees; apparently, a record high temp for this early in the year! Tomorrow we're supposed to have a high temp of just 70 degrees (the norm for this time of year). Paul Douglas, my favorite weather guy, described yesterday's weather in his column entitled "Instant Summer!":

"With a May like this who needs July? Yesterday's extreme heat was a). amazing, and b). supremely humbling. 97 in the Twin Cities, smashing, obliterating the old record of 89 set most recently in 1978. Keep in mind the normal high is 71 degrees.

Record heat grips the southern third of Minnesota Tuesday, 97 in the Twin Cities, 94 in Rochester, 100 degrees reported at Granite Falls, nearly 30 degrees warmer than average....Grand Marais: Tuesday afternoon temperatures hold in the mid 30s, nearly a 70 degree temperature contrast across the state!"

Have a splendid day today; it's gonna be another scorcher!
