Finally, A Typical Minnesota Winter

It's undoubtedly premature to be making this call, but my instincts are telling me that, after 5 previous winters in Minnesota, we are finally about to experience our first traditionally cold, snowy one. It's been below freezing for two solid weeks, we've had snow on the ground for over a week, we've dipped below zero, and the extended forecast calls for highs no higher than the mid-20s, and mostly clear, cold nights.

At least we might get in some cross-country skiing.
