You don't need a weatherman

Thought for the day. I noted a while back that the Strib ran an article that said 2004 was "wacky year of extremes" in Twin Cities weather.

But, actually, if you think about it a little, the summer was remarkably cool, compared to other summers; and fall was pretty warm compared to fall in years past ... which means that the temperature was less variable in 2004 than in other years.

A wacky year of moderation, not extremes.

Having grown up in a place where 50 was cold, 45 meant complaints that you had to put on liner gloves, snow was something you drove 4 hours and 200 miles to, and 75 was a scorcher, I know a little about temperate weather patterns. However moderate it was in the Twin Cities in 2004, we ain't temperate yet!
