Underblog Rides Again: Baby It's Cold

Baby It's Cold

Often, the first thing that people learn about Minnesota is that it gets cold here. This morning, according to Yahoo! Weather, it is 7 degrees Fahrenheit outside. It was supposed to have gotten down as low as 4 in these parts, but the heat-island effect probably came to our rescue. In anyone's book, 7 degrees is cold. The funny thing is that it felt a lot colder yesterday, when the temperature (according to Biscuits&Gravy's thermometer) was 16 to 18 degrees.

The difference was the wind. Yesterday, the cold front blew in at a steady 20 miles per hour or so. It is unusual when everyone chooses to use the covered section of the Washington Avenue bridge. That is, everyone except the bicycles, who would have had to dodge all the pedestrians.

Today, the wind is calm. Yesterday, my cheeks went numb in the three minutes the dog took to do her morning business. Today, 7 degrees felt positively balmy. Not that I am going to be raking the leaves that blew out of the beds where we had neglected to rake them any time soon.

For a year and a half, when I was 11, my family lived in Minot, North Dakota. Town motto: Why not, Minot? I can tell you why not, -25 with a wind chill factor. Of course, as kids, my siblings and I were excited about all the snow. The snow that piled up in drifts 15 feet high against the school windows and formed a good crust so we could build igloos.

Are you and shermie going to use those great x-country trails around town?
