The news called it Snow-ma-gedon! I called it a Blizzard. Molly called it a “Lizzard”! We made a gingerbread village. Peter taught Ryan [...]

It’s a heatwave…a tropical heatwave! Just Kidding! If we make it to the weekend, without rising above 32 degrees F., Minnesota will have the fourth month on record, since the 1880s, to not have a single day above freezing.
