A Minnesota Nightmare

You'd think that people in cold, harsh, Minnesota would love warm weather in the middle of a frigid winter. Well, you're wrong. In fact, that is our worst nightmare. And sadly, the nightmare became reality last night as the temp got all the way up to 40. It was warm enough for it to rain; which it did. As the night went on, the temp dropped, and the rain turned into freezing rain. The saturated ground froze, which left a rather thick layer of ice over EVERYTHING. The freezing rain continued through the day, and on into the night. Man I love this state! (Does anyone want to go sparking?)
