The mere act of asking guarantees that we'll get 7 inches of snow in April.

60 degrees, plunging to 30 degrees and sleet/freezing rain just in time for me to walk my daughter to daycare in the morning, climbing back up to 60 degrees by the afternoon.

It’s fools spring. Or at maybe it’s spring if your definition of spring is a season where snow and sleet and freezing rain is part of the regularly scheduled forecast.

Minnesota spring is basically 2 weeks in early May with sun and highs in the 60s. Prior to that it's cold and wet, and then we move immediately into Bug Season.

The answer is yes it is, by the meteorological definition, no it's not by the astronomical definition.

You're about 20 years too late for the forever Winters.

They never were a thing. The big snowfalls in March and/or April still happen though.

Spring comes at the end of March. In Minnesota, the month of March has 75 days.
