this is chapter 3 of a "book" i started sometime back in 2006. click here to read chapter one: the vikings. click here to read chapter 2: the twins.
one good thing i will say about this winter in minnesota is that we have finally gotten some real snow again. the last 8 or so years ive had to drive five to six hours north to find real snow to snowboard. this year i can again snowboard right here at good ole mount kato. (with its towering 200 foot elevation).
but this weekend...argh to this weekend. the forecast is calling for a high of 4 below zero. a high of 4 below zero! the over night low is going to be 15 below zero! windchill temps are going to be at least 35 below zero. sunday is supposed to be about the same. 3 weeks ago i went showboarding. it was 45 and sunny. not bad for a minnesota winter. figure in the windchill and this weekend is going to feel like an 80 degree drop! (thats right kids...i did go to college for a little bit). there are plans for snowboarding this saturday. im worried if i go out that certain parts of my body will become new internal organs to keep themselves warm.

Great post! Very entertaining. Minnesota is still the best though and has the best things to offer! I recently stumbled upon this blog that I found pretty funny in its bashing of Minnesota: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/theres-no-place-like-home-sort-of/
Thanks for the post! Minnesota rocks!
