Hot Enough for Ya?
Despite our extreme winters, Minnesota also gets its share of extreme summers. From today's Star Tribune:
"Today will bring dangerous, almost extraordinary heat to the Twin Cities and much of the Midwest. The heat will peak probably a few degrees above 100. Factoring in dew point, Sunday felt hotter in Minneapolis and St. Paul (110) than it did in Baghdad (103). Today will be worse. No preaching, lecturing or fear-mongering. Just know that today's heat will be life-threatening."
For fun, compare this to my entry from Feb. 17, 2006.
