Good morning from Minneapolis where, after an evening of strong winds and light rain, we've clawed our way to Friday, fair skies, and a forecast high of 88℉.
Warm enough for you? We're only a few days past the average frost date here, according to signs at the neighborhood greenhouse.
Quite early Friday morning it's 62℉; light southwest winds; barometer reads Change; visibility 10 miles at the airport.
- Very warm, dry, & windy conditions today, will create critical fire weather conditions again this afternoon & evening.
—NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MNThere's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
Song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

Good morning from Minnesota, where the Gopher State may become the first to outlaw prediction-market gambling.
We're shocked—shocked—the legislature agreed on anything substantial. Live and learn—don't starve the loon. [Loon sound effect, audio logo of the Minnesota State Lottery].
Quite early Thursday morning it's 51℉; fair skies; fair barometer; light winds at the moment; and visibility 10 miles at the airport.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 79. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.“I’m concerned that the rapid increase in access to prediction markets will create a spike in gambling addiction and financial loss, hurting Minnesota families. It will dramatically cut into the revenue of Minnesota’s regulated gambling, including charitable gambling, casinos, and racetracks.”
—State Sen. John Marty, quoted in the morning paper

Sunny, with a high near 61.Friday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 70."Joan of Arc, a mere child in years, ignorant, unlettered, a poor village girl unknown and without influence, found a great nation lying in chains, helpless and hopeless under an alien domination, its treasury bankrupt, its soldiers disheartened and dispersed, all spirit torpid, all courage dead in the hearts of the people through long years of foreign and domestic outrage and oppression, their King cowed, resigned to its fate, and preparing to fly the country; and she laid her hand upon this nation, this corpse, and it rose and followed her. She led it from victory to victory, she turned back the tide of the Hundred Years’ War, she fatally crippled the English power, and died with the earned title of DELIVERER OF FRANCE, which she bears to this day.
"And for all reward, the French King, whom she had crowned, stood supine and indifferent, while French priests took the noble child, the most innocent, the most lovely, the most adorable the ages have produced, and burned her alive at the stake."

—National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN"Meet the dandelion, often overlooked and sometimes even unwelcome. And, yes, it plays a great part in any garden. These cheerful yellow flowers are one of the first to arrive in Spring, making them an essential food source for many pollinating insects. This is why dandelions are included in the RHS Plants for Pollinators list.
"Dandelions are a model of resilience."
—Josie Stuart, Royal Horticultural Society Plant Health Scientist
