Enjoying a Kansas City Winter . . . in Minneapolis

What does it feel like when normally frigid February temps are instead in the 60’s?

Not just once, but a couple days in a row!?!

It’s like a collective mid-winter “staycation” for the metro area’s 3 million inhabitants.

New Normal?

Growing up, whenever my Kansas City relatives expressed sympathy for having to endure the harsh local winters, my response was:  “it may be frigid, but at least it’s cold enough to have real winter sports (skiing, hockey, sledding, etc.).  You just have perpetual brown for 3 months — and tornadoes in January.”

While I may have said that, I never really believed it, and I was always secretly a little jealous of those easy winters further South.

Fast forward a couple decades, and exceptionally mild Minnesota winters appear to be the New Normal . . .
