Minnesota is Minnesota-ing again. After some very mild weather and even sunny temps in the 50s, mother nature is likely to drop up to a foot of snow on the Twin Cities this weekend.
Seasoned Minnesotans know better than to fall for the early tease of a false spring, but even the most grizzled veterans among us can get weather whiplash.
It’s not just the psychological toll of adjusting to the rapid weather swings. If you’re anything like us, your home is also caught up in the vacillating seasons. We’ve got our roller blades, bikes, and soccer balls out next to our winter jackets, snow pants, and shovels. Our entryway looks like it can’t decide what season it is, because it can’t.
But the reality is that the average last frost date for the Twin Cities is in early May, which means we have another 4-6 weeks of this seasonal no-man’s land. So how are we getting through this homestretch before spring?
Honestly, our best advice is to give yourself some grace. The entryway is going to be crowded for a few more weeks, and that’s just the cost of living somewhere with four real seasons.
Take this weekend as an opportunity to reset your entryway so it’s well organized heading into the week ahead. We’ll also be trying our best to get out and enjoy whatever snowfall we end up with.
What’s your approach? Are you embracing the upcoming snowfall, or are you ready to turn the page on winter altogether and just stay inside until the snow melts?
