Won't be safe until June.

It's a March to beat all other Marches in this part of Minnesota. Snowless. And that's the first time it has happened since 1860. Yes, since the start of the Civil War. Adds up to a century and a half. Of course, there are two days left in March. But still, I'm rather confident there won't be a last minute surprise. The temperature is in the 60s today. And tomorrow it's headed into the mid-70s. The ice is off the lake. And I'm gonna walk in shorts and shirtsleeves. I live for today. Knowing there are no guarantees in April. Winter could still make a return visit. April showers could well be snow showers. Even a blizzard. I'm a Minnesotan. Knowing we won't be safe from winter. At least until June. --Jim Broede
