Toughen up Donna, Summer's barely started. I was working outside today, I drank 6 litres of water ( only took one piss).
that's what its like here too. We got a foot of snow yesterday. Took the kids sledding. Running up the hill dragging a sled keeps ya warm. That damn wind is the worst part.
It's raining here too Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://www.buienradar.nl/?id=134020071206 Edit: I don't know if the link will work properly.. probably does though.
The past ten years in Minnesota, December has been the coldest month of the year more often than not. Before that, for a couple hundred years, it was January - especially the last two weeks of January. And it has rained in January in Minnesota something like 11 years in a row now - formerly a striking, once per decade event. It's cold in December again this year. My own guess is that ground moisture has been less, in recent years, so that winter comes in dry and chills faster, but doesn't chill as far and starts recovering sooner after the Solstice due to the recent warming trend of winter nights.
its ~30f here, but it's supposed to be 70f (with thunderstorms) by this weekend Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
