I live directly east of Mpls. This weather report could apply to West WI also.
Strange weather we are having.

Winter in the Twin Cities was shaping up to be a cakewalk. By the time winter ended on the morning of March 20, Minneapolis had only seen 14.3 inches of snow — the second least by that point in the season on record. It had also been Minneapolis’s warmest winter on record. Then Old Man Winter waltzed in at the last minute.


The city saw 8.2 inches of snow on Sunday, a record for the date and the biggest snowstorm of the winter (and technically not even occurring during the winter at all). The sudden snows plastered area roadways, and two people died among hundreds of car crashes in Minnesota, according to CBS News.

After precipitation changed to rain in the Twin Cities on Monday, it turned back to snow on Tuesday, with wind gusts over 30 mph reducing visibility and “multiple accidents,” according to the National Weather Service. The forecast for 2 to 4 new inches of snow and gusty winds prompted a winter weather advisory until 4 p.m. Tuesday.

1. It snowed on Easter in Phila

My family has slides of us in our matching Easter outfits standing in some fresh snow. I like surprises like that.

2. This is remnant of my childhood in coastal North Carolina.

We had a pretty normal winter in 1979... wet, temps around the 40s every day with the occasional dip into the low 20s at night. Then, the first week of May. We got a wild front that rolled through and dumped 18 inches of snow on my little town. We were paralyzed for the entire week. (We were out of school for the entire week as well since this thing hit us on a Sunday/Monday morning!) My mother has pictures of the Daffodils sticking out of the snow since we had been dealing with temps in the upper 80s since early April. There were many confused plants that week!
