Went outside to fill the bird feeders - temp says 22 degrees. First time out in about two weeks WITHOUT wearing thermal underwear... I wouldn't exactly say it was WARM...
My sister, who runs one of the Mobile Meals program in the twin cities, is grateful for the urban warmth today, and feeling good that the volunteer drivers will probably be done with their routes and home before the snow surrounding the cities hits.
Considering what is going on around the cities, it is amazing that y'all are getting this little temporary reprieve:
and I agree Kitch. Calm down people. Although I understand their reasoning to leave early if they can. I would say I'm working from home too if I could. :eyeroll:
I got to sleep in today - thinking I would be at work late (waiting for traffic to clear) so I came into work later...
Then if by some miracle from above they decided to send people home early (doubtful) then I would have an even shorter day then those who came in early thinking to leave earlier. :pbpt:
As of 1:30 we have had absolutely no snow yet. That heat island gap over the metro is now over the top of us in St. Croix County. No indication whatsoever that it is even February now.
Update*
Storm came in a few minutes ago with rumbling thunder like a fast thunderstorm in June. At 2:00 our vehicles are already white. COOL! :cool:
It's 2:00 - AMAZINGLY they higher ups just came by and said the exact same thing.. leave if you want... they were all at meetings and just got back and said it is NASTY..
Didn't Mankato hit 100? And International Falls or some place hit 42 as their high? What a contrast for high temps across the state. I wonder if the low up north made a record for greatest extremes for one day for the state. I seem to remember -20 (Babbitt) low and a 60 high (Rochester) once for some reason.
The largest 24 hour temperature change in Minnesota was 71 degrees on April 3, 1982 in Lamberton located in Redwood County. The high was 78 degrees and a vigorous cold front dropped the temperature to 7.
I want to see the largest temp change for the entire state for one day. Not just one town
Montana's biggest temperature change, which is also a world record, was recorded in Loma in 1972. The temperature went from -54ºF to 49ºF (a change of 103ºF!) in 24 hours.
I found the record for a certain location in the US anyway.
tried 3 times to post a comment but youtube wouldn't allow me to comment...screen goes gray. :frown: and freezes.
BUT ....OMGooodness! Wwwway cool video of the clouds, hail, circus tent and downtown! I don't understand St Paul, Minnesota weather. I live with-in a mile of that Lafayette Bridge - just off Plato and up the hill to the /righteast. We could see the black clouds but got only a trace of rain and some wind.
'We' is my special friend and I. I'll introduce you to her some day. I think you'll like her. She reminds me of you. Only different.
Although I really like your HUGE camper LL, I'm just fine with the size of my pop-up.
even when it's cold and wet :wink:
You healthy enough for a good ole running jump hug?
The kids said that it was NOT 100 degrees today... I told them it was the outside temperature, not the cold temps here, inside the truck.
It's on it's way people.
Look at the current radar.\
"1 inch in 30 Minutes" line. :ooh:

Does this mean they are running the sirens today? I thought they waited until April to do that siren test with the schools and such.
The previous record for Tuesday was 89 degrees, which was set back in 1977 and 1978.
We have not experienced a 90 plus day since July 29th of last year, nearly 10 months ago!
Minnesota 114°F / 46°C July 6, 1936* Moorhead -60°F / -51°C February 2, 1996 Tower
That's a 174 degree extreme!
I would assume that California has the biggest gap with Death Valley and Yosemite park.
