What a crazy month for weather

March is supposed to come in like a Lion and leave like a lamb or vice versa right? This saying has agricultural roots, where observing weather patterns was essential for farming communities. It was a way of reminding people that the harshness of winter would eventually give way to the promise of spring. Though not scientifically precise, the saying endures as a poetic way to describe the seasonal shift.

A week before my birthday it was something like 60 degrees out, even rode my electric skateboard around too as the streets were dry and my motors don't like moisture. The day before my birthday 5 days later, 6 inches of snow.... two days later... 50 degress and almost no snow left (obviously).

Now today theres a winter storm moving in to snow from now until 6pm. Seems like the weather prediction preciseness has fallen due to the lack of common sense in the government destroying such programs and the people who do those jobs... what a joke. We had some YUGE! fluffy clumps coming down for about 10 minutes and now nothing. At the time of this blarging it is 32 degrees out on this Mid-morning Minnesota day. It rained all day yesterday... It was 70 degrees a week ago.

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for spring. Now it's like did Winter ever show up? I don't think we had more than an inch last all year on the ground this year. Didn't even build one snow sculpture as I like to do. Snowmobiling used to be a massive event here in good Ole Minnesota... I havent even seen one being operated that wasn't in a show ... indoors.... Apparently, Climate Change is a weak liberal myth, though and most people with more than half a paramecium brain can decipher there is something severely wrong but choose to ignore it for party politics.

Yes... you did just read a long drawn out Blog about "Crazy weather we're having" .... Minnesota is apparently in my blood. ;)
