Ahhh, spring.
The beginning of the growing season. When the grass finally starts peeking out of the ground, the smell of hyacinth is in the air, and two feet of snow, dumped in 24 hours:
The grand prize for the most snowfall goes to Virginia, Minn., where 32 inches piled up between Friday night and this morning. More than a foot fell in the northern Minnesota community of about 9,000 people since Sunday evening, the National Weather Service said.
Not far behind, 29 inches fell in northern portions of Itasca County, 27 inches in Cass Lake, 26 in Babbit, and 25 in Chisholm.
April showers bring May flowers, but what do April blizzards bring? I’m sure the people in the following cities will be very impressed with Al Gore’s $300 million global warming ad campaign:
Other heavy snowfalls were reported in Babbitt with 22 inches, Tower, 19, Grand Rapids 25, Wirt, 22 , and Cohasset 23.5. Lake Bemidji reported 13 inches, Wilton, 12.5, Zerkel, 18, and New York Mills, 13 inches.
Snow was coming down at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour on Sunday afternoon.
They must have a lot less CO2 in Minnesota. Yeah, that’s it.
