Spring time...not in Minnesota

While a good portion of the country is starting to enjoy spring and see its wonders, us here in Minnesota have yet to see anything but. Here is what it still looks like here, today March 8 in Minnesota. Come on Spring, hurry up!!!












Oh and here is the forecast...
...BLIZZARD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING...

THE BLIZZARD WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND
NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA LATE TONIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAY MONDAY. ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED WITH THIS
FIRST ROUND OF SNOW. A SECOND ROUND OF SNOW IS EXPECTED FROM
TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. SIX TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS SECOND SYSTEM. NORTH WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH FROM TUESDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF WIND AND SNOW SHOULD RESULT IN
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FROM TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. WIND
CHILLS TUESDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO DANGEROUS LEVELS OF
30 BELOW TO 35 BELOW.

SNOWFALL AMOUNTS MAY BE A BIT LOWER ACROSS THE DEVILS LAKE TO
CANDO AREAS...WHERE AMOUNTS MAY ONLY RANGE FROM TWO TO FOUR
INCHES. HOWEVER...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS COULD STILL RESULT WITH THE
STRONGER WINDS.

A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR
BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES.
THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY
DANGEROUS.

Are you kidding me?!?!?!

Why would you want to stay there and live in that frozen tundra? Why not come back to Cali, where life's a beach, just ask us we've already been. Who needs spring, we get right into summer!!!! Yeah!!!
