It's May 3rd and it snowed last night, normally we could go out for coffee and complain about it. You know say things like "is it cold enough for ya?" Or "don't know if I should use the boat or the auger for the opener". It's part of being a Minnesotan, we have horrible weather but at least it was fun to complain about, and an ice-breaker (pun intended) with strangers, something to talk about.
But now thanks to AL Gore, we're supposed to be happy that its snowing in May because that means we're not destroying the planet as fast as we thought. And vice versa, if it was 70º and sunny we can't enjoy it, we would just feel guilty while we drive our SUV to the golf course.
By the way, MPR doesn't call it "the weather" anymore now its "the latest news on the climate".
