It was 56 degrees when we went for a walk in St. Olaf’s grasslands on Saturday. The path was a little wet in places but it was great to be out in the open prairie. We sat on a bench for a while to soak up some sunshine. After our hike we went downtown and there were people out everywhere…enjoying this Minnesota winter heat wave. Most of the snow has melted because of several consecutive warm days, and the forecast calls for these temperatures to continue for a few more. Will winter return?
On these nice days I turn down the heat in the house and open windows to let the “sneezes” out! The fresh air smells so good.
I remember last year we had a couple of warm days and we went on a bike ride in February. Is this the new norm?
