True Myths

Warning! Weather related post! (I'm a Minnesotan, I can't help it)

I wake up this morning, Wednesday, August 11, and I'm cold. I mean, really cold. How could this be? Is it really 46 DEGREES in the middle of August? I mean, we're talking 14 degrees from snowing. I can see my breath. I bought a new sweater yesterday (I had to - it has elbow patches). I know all you non-Minnesotans are thinking, "Well, of course. You live in Minnesota." But this is not right. August is usually hot hot hot, waves of humidity taking over your soul. When I got to Minnesota in August last year, it was so hot that I missed the relative comfort of temperate Los Angeles. I bought a high powered fan. I spent days by the lake. This year? They're having a frost Up North. I saw someone biking on Lyndale this morning, wearing mittens - and I couldn't blame him. That wind is cold. Will it snow before the State Fair? If it does, I've officially seen it all. What ever happened to global warming?
