In what has been an odd for Minn. year, most snow storms hit at an angle from South West Minn. up to approx. the Twin Cities.
That is far enough from the norm., that it is genuinely rare, although that part of Minn. and the U.S. below us has been pounded by rain for a few years now.
It never got up here at all and passed through fairly quickly but dumped several inches seventy miles South of here.
Now up here we will be getting , for the next three days highs 25 degrees below the average , including , by forecast , lows in the teens, which is 10 degrees colder than down there.
Had we got the snow, it would have been around for the rest of week.
I had though about turning over the garden a few days ago, as we were thinking of earlier than average planting up here.
Not gonna happen now.``` Now Minn. is , there is no real norm. state to a good degree, since the turn of the century , I have had the garden totally planted by the end of March while at the same time , not been able to finish until June in the cold years.At that I am in a good gardening part of the State; my dad had a cousin who lived 150 miles north of here, and he said in living there for forty years, twice did it get warm enough to produce tomatoes.
