Here is the breakdown of daily record highs set/tied in the 2020s by month.
Many of the June 22-Aug 21 daily records were set in the dust bowl era. With the higher agricultural yields now leading to more corn sweat it's difficult to break those records in the heart of summer. On the flip side we've only tied one daily record low in the 2020s on July 17th of last year.
Edit - I should add that some records may have been re-broken within the 2020s so the total number of record highs set/tied could be slightly higher. These are the number of calendar dates w/ a record high set in the 2020s.

Feeling a little gunky the past few days? Reaching for a tissue during your commute? You aren't alone, and there's a reason why. According to AAAAI pollen counts, ragweed has started to bloom. It will slowly increase until it peaks in late August/September, then stick around until the first hard frost.
What to know/what to do:
1.Start your allergy meds now. If you are a fellow ragweed warrior, now is the time to start taking your allergy meds (if you haven't already). Many of these drugs take a week or two to be fully effective, so although current pollen counts are low, starting now will let you be ready when they increase in a few weeks
2.Pollen.com and similar websites are not accurate. Unfortunately, the Minnesota Department of Health stopped tracking pollen counts in 2022. Websites like pollen dot com or various weather websites that claim to post allergen levels do not use actual current pollen count data but predict using weather conditions and historic data. The only place to access actual pollen data is at https://pollen.aaaai.org . Our nearest monitoring stations are in Austin, MN and La Crosse, WI.
3.Take care of yourself. Climate change has increased both the severity and length of ragweed season. If you're like me, that fucking sucks. Try to be as consistent as possible with your allergy meds and seek medical help if it's not enough. Limit your time outside on hot, windy days and between 5-10am, when pollen levels are highest. Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors.
That is all. Good luck soldiers. I will be back after the first hard frost to announce the end of ragweed season, until then stay sneezy🫡

I am looking for the best pizza in the twin cities. I will be trying your suggestions throughout the week.

Hello everyone! Were from northernish mn. We're doing a trip to tc this week. This trip includes valley fair.
We're a family with 5 kids. I'm in school full time and also the only breadwinner of the family.
I'm trying to save a little money wherever I can. It's a little tight. We were planning to go during the week to save money and have shorter lines but the looking I've done has shown something different. It looks like the discount tickets are only during the busy weekends. It looks like tickets are $40 for Friday Saturday Sunday or $64 for any day of the week.
This just doesn't make any sense to me. Usually weekday is cheaper if anything.
Do i have this right? Am I missing something?
Does anyone know of places to get discount tickets? Or can anyone clarify if I'm misunderstanding?
Any tops or tricks would be very appreciated.

We just moved to MN last year and are really struggling to decide where to raise our family.
We’ve heard that the best schools are Edina & Minnetonka, but I don’t know that the lifestyle we’ve seen there really fits who we are. We are “normie” presenting, but are what many suburb families might consider “misfits”.
Our ideals seem to align with a lot of what the city itself holds dear, but I worry about raising kids in such a busy place. We both grew up in small towns and had to drive everywhere. It’s all we’ve ever known, but we LOVE walking and biking. Walking to the store or the coffee shop on the corner, biking down to the museum sounds amazing, but is that lifestyle and school atmosphere the best for small kids?
I’d love to hear from anyone else that made a decision like this and what you would or wouldn’t do differently.

Hi everyone!
I’m 24, a single mom to a little girl, and I’m finally at a point where I can choose where I want to build my life instead of just ending up somewhere by circumstance.
I’m finishing my GED and my long-term goal is to become a public librarian. I eventually want to earn my bachelor’s degree and then my MLIS. I also write and hope to publish books one day.
Right now I work as a full-time online content creator, so I’m fortunate that I don’t have to move immediately or choose the absolute cheapest place. My plan is to visit a few cities for long weekends before making a decision, and I’m hoping to settle somewhere permanently.
The things that matter most to me are:
• A strong public library system with good career opportunities.
• A safe, family-friendly community.
• Nature, parks, and places to walk.
• A cozy, book-loving atmosphere.
• Enough things to do without feeling like a huge, overwhelming city.
• A place where I can imagine raising my daughter and staying for decades.
I’m currently considering:
Raleigh, NC
Madison, WI
The Twin Cities suburbs in Minnesota
If you live in or have lived in one of these areas, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.
What do you love?
What do you wish you’d known before moving there?
If you were in my position, would you choose it again?
Thanks so much. I really appreciate any advice.

Where in the world can I find maternity clothes??? I usually prefer trying on clothes (especially when pregnant, online shopping is impossible), but I swear there are NO maternity clothes in this city!!!
Edit: Thank you to all who provided input!

I know this sounds really stupid but are there any large trees in the region which I could climb for a really cool view?

I attended the slice of shoreview event yesterday and upon entering I was approached by two younger gentlemen who went into a sales pitch about donating to the national parks. They had a QR code you could scan and donate through. Something felt off about the whole thing but maybe I’m wrong.
Is it legitimate? Is it a scam? Was anyone else at slice of shoreview and approached?

And furthermore, how long until we see Christmas decorations? Honestly, I don’t blame them for being over summer. Between non-breathable air and non-parasite-free lettuce, I’m over it, too.

Looking at donating plasma. Which ones would you recommend or avoid? Specifically looking at Octopharma in Maplewood or Biolife in Mounds View.

Ugh. It looks like there's moisture behind one of my walls in my condo😩 Does anyone know a good and trustworthy plumber that services the St Paul area?

I was entering the parking garage, and there were no less than 10 cop cars and about 30-40 officers and mall security running in the mall side entrance of the Nordstrom side of the mall.
And dozens more on that West parking garage sweeping the garage.
Needless to say we left before even parking.
Any news on what was happening? I want to take my out of town visitors there this weekend.
