Spring in Minnesota:

[LaraMN]

It's just another beautiful mid-April day here, in the balmy state of Minnesota.

Stop by and visit!


Admire the burgeoning blooms!


Sit on the deck and grill. Take the kiddies out for a spin on some play equipment!



Yay, Minnesota!

:bounce:

1. And what does this have to do with Midlo's drinking habit?

:D

[LaraMN]

3. We can stockpile box wine IN THE YARD.

Unlimited freezer space!

[Fox Mulder]

2. Ugh. It's just as bad here.

I hate midwestern MN.

[LaraMN]

4. Why DO we live here?

Every year about this time I seriously start to wonder.

7. Makes you appreciate the summer

There's also a lack of biting insects for most of the year. And there is no air pollution, large snakes, or alligators.

And it keeps the state from getting crowded!

Besides, in 30 years the warmer states will all be under water. :-)

[LaraMN]

10. I remember why: no big spiders!

THAT'S why I live here!

:thumbsup:

19. You too?

I don't mind bugs that I know (little New England bugs), but when I go down South I'm always shocked and freaked out at the size of the bugs! I like knowing that I won't ever have to pick up a tarantula or a scorpion and put it outside!

5. HAH!

I really shouldn't be laughing. We might have snow here this weekend!

[LaraMN]

12. You just totally jinxed yourself.

Better go find your shovel!

:P

[tigereye]

16. I just put mine away

:scared:


please say it won't reach us here in West. PA

6. *sigh* I am coming to MN to visit in a week

and right now its about 70+ degrees here....I'm soo looking forward to winter again...:sarcasm:

[Rambis]

8. I will be there in one month

in the Cass Lake area I hope the snow is gone by then?

[Frosty1]

13. I heard Rochester didn't get hit this time.

Up here in northern Minnesota we have over 42 inches of snow since last Friday.
We did manage to get the plow truck running and out of the driveway but the problem is now there is no room to put the snow that does get plowed.
Hurry spring. We have a front end loader coming to make room.
:scared:

9. Come to central Indiana in August

Over 100° and 90+% humidity, and dust everywhere, for over a month. You'll welcome winter back.

[LaraMN]

11. Why can't we just split the difference and have it nice here now,

and nice there in August?

Mother nature is a giant dipshit.

[EstimatedProphet]

15. I would be up for that

Weird thing is, today it is nice here. It's going to be crappy tomorrow. Pisses me off because I've got lettuce sprouting already - hopefully it won't frost too heavy.

[Elidor]

14. Pfffft! Just a light dusting

I lived in Minneapolis when I was a kid. I remember my father going out the back door with an axe to chop the ice off the front door so he could get it to open (the back door opened inward). We didn't even notice snowfalls of less than 3 inches.

If it's any consolation, Minnesota weather is frequently worse than that in Juneau, Alaska.

17. I'm sitting here feeling sorry for you and suddenly it dawns on me: CRAP! I live in Minnesota, too!

One day, I am so out of here! x(

[zanne]

18. LOL! nt

[ikojo]

20. We may not have SNOW in St Louis right now

but I have heard people at work talk of building an ark....

We may get snow flurries today...on April 12

Supposedly it's supposed to be near 70 sometime this week, of course during the week when I am WORKING.

[Raven]

21. Poor man's fertilizer? Yikes! I thought it was bad up here. I'm

never going to complain again!:hi:
