Send some Santa Ana winds to central Minnesota! We could use a bit of snow melt.

Today’s high temp was in single digits AGAIN! Our total snowfall this season has been about 27 inches, but every inch is still on the ground. It’s truly so cold here that the sand, salt, and snow have become a soft mushy mix which is sort of oily feeling under your boots. Only one day above freezing since about Thanksgiving Day, and that was Dec. 26th with gloom and a faint mist in the air and temps about 35 degrees. Not much melting going on, but the snow depth shrunk a few inches. Most of the side roads are packed with about an inch of snow, and if we get rain, it will turn to solid ice.

I know this is all the fault of global warming. For this I’m supposed to purchase light bulbs with mercury in them which cost about 5 to 10 times the amount of incandescent bulbs. We would not want Minnesota to have any global warming, would we?

I'll settle for the warm Santa Ana's in January...

Is that typical or unusual for your neck of the woods? I had the doors and windows open today here in SC, the next couple of weeks it will probably drop to the teens then we can open the doors and windows again for a few days after that. Then it will snow.
