Just when you thought it was over… Like a bad horror movie, this winter seems to have taken on a life of it’s own. Last week we had a 1″ snowfall and this week we are looking at another 2-5″. After hitting a high of 80F in late March, we have been back in the cooler ever since. One good thing is that it’s kept the vines from achieving budswell too early. The odd thing is that despite daytime highs barely hitting the low 40s, spring seems to be marching along. Tree leaf buds are swelling, the lilacs especially. And the spring peepers never really did shut up. Rooster pheasants have been running around like crazy. So despite the cold, we are probably not far off from a normal Minnesota spring.
