No icicles. Only sweat.

In St. Paul, we're into the annual Winter Carnival. But it just doesn't seem like winter. Because the temperature for the past week has hovered at about 32 degrees. Around here, that ain't winter. Almost feels like spring. Might even get a little sun tan. If they had built an ice palace, as they've done some years, maybe it would start to melt. That would be a disgrace. We Minnesotans like to brag about our frigid, bone-numbing winters. We like to have icicles hanging from our noses. Instead, that may be sweat trickling down our brows. --Jim Broede
