Broke a Record

Tuesday, March 8, 2016

I believe the old record was 69 degrees.

57 In February?(!)

57 degrees in February in Minneapolis is saying something. Beautiful yet scary at the same time.

Beautiful Day

Saturday, February 27, 2016

It hit at least 57 degrees. According to Dale the previous record was 54.

Record Cold High

The record high for this date was 108 degrees set in 1936. The record cold high was 65 and that was set TODAY.

98 Degrees

I hear it got to 98 degrees yesterday. Isn't that something? That's a record!

First Subzero

According to local weather guru Paul Douglas, today was the first subzero morning this winter. Today set a record for the latest subzero on record in the metropolitan area. Yikes!

Record Dew Point

Yesterday I noted that the dew point was at 84 and that made it the most humid day in the Twin Cities, ever. I read in the paper this morning that we've had three days in a row where the dew point has been at 80 or more which, according to local weather guru Paul Douglas, has never happened before either! I was talking with Dale yesterday about how despite the miserable heat and humidity that life obviously just goes on. You just can't stay inside all day. I took a few walks and found that I was getting used to it somewhat. I made the walks much slower and shorter than usual but still enjoyed the outdoors despite the discomfort.
