Today marks the first day in...5?...that the air temperature will be above zero for a full 24 hours! I can't help but laugh at myself at how gosh darn excited I am for that :) I think it will be in the thirties later this week, and that seems downright tropical! I can pretty much guarantee you that people in the Twin Cities will be out and about wearing only a t-shirt and maybe a sweatshirt on that day. It's so funny to me that people freak out every November when the temps hit the teens and twenties but get absolutely THRILLED when we have those temperatures in Janurary and February.
If you have ever seen the movie Grumpy Old Men (if you haven't, shame on you!), then you probably remember the part when one of the guys is walking out to his car on a day just like this. He was singing along to the radio: We're having a heat wave....a tropical heat wave... that song will probably be stuck in my head for at least the next 24 hours :)
