Snow Mountain (Parking Lot Glacier??)
If you thought comparing Minnesota’s winter weather to Alaska’s was a stretch, you’d be right.
Except that would be unfair . . . to Alaska — temperatures locally have been much colder this winter than most of Alaska (I don’t know about snowfall).
Invidious Comparison
Apparently, the same “polar vortexes” that have put the Upper Midwest and East Coast into repeated, deep freezes have the countervailing effect of keeping the West Coast — and yes, Alaska — basking in unseasonably warm temp’s.
Meanwhile, more and more Twin Cities parking lots are starting to resemble the one pictured above.
That’s my 11 year-old son, in front of a glacier-like, 20-foot tall snow bank.
