I cannot remember a spring like this one in all my years of living in Minnesota.  Here is it June and we are still having daily highs barely making 60.  Of all the years to sell my car and be dependent on my bike for commuting!!  40's in the morning are a chilly ride in.

This past weekend we had a severe storm (but at least the temps were in the 70's!!).  We had golf ball sized hail covering everything.  I spent an hour tonight SHOVELING the debris off our patio.  The streets are covered with green debris, which makes for a slick ride on my bike.  We were lucky - our house did not suffer damage (paying for a better grade of vinyl siding just paid off).  One neighbor has vinyl and now has holes in their siding.  Those with aluminium siding now have dimpled siding that looks like someone took a hammer to it.  Steel siding faired better but still shows some denting.  The roofing and siding industry will do very well in our neighborhood.

If any of you were in the tornado sticken areas, I feel for you.  Severe weather is never fun.

Yes, the nasty weather has hit us several times.  The tornado that hit Hugo was not that far from me.  I've survived a tornado once - I don't care to live thru that again.

Minnesota can be humid (and would be if the temps ever returned to normal). 

I will be in Missouri for my week long bike ride this month.  I must start checking the weather so I can be prepared!

Robin, it will probably be very hot for your trip to the trail. It always is by mid-June. We've had some heavy rain so maybe we should check to make sure everything is open. Some parts of the trail between Treloar and Herman flood.
