Foxy Lady: Bringing it back to gardening; the weather in both regions is very similar. Minnesota gets a bit colder, but upstate NY gets a bit more snow, ok... a lot more snow. All and all, I can relate to the weather.

On Tuesday and Wednesday here, it never got above 5 degrees F. COLD!!! I was blue from the cold!

Yesterday (Saturday), it hit 54 here. Just the weirdest weather! I could tell you all about it... but that would be sad... I was studying to be a meteorologist until not long ago when I switched to another field, and then switched again, again, again, and... again.
