Chrissy, I have lived here for 41 years and I can't remember a Fall such as we are experiencing this year. For example, the high today is expected to be 83 degrees. Usually what happens in September is we will get a frost sometime in the month of September. But then, we get "Indian Summer" that means the weather is "mild" through October. LOL, alot of the nation has this misconception of Minnesota. It is not as bad as everyone thinks. But believe me when I say that it can be 90 one day at 32 the next. Minnesota should be known for its extremes not for its cold weather. But, it is true, some winters usually in January and February we have hit 50 below and that is not wind chill. So, assure your mom that it can be cold but on the other hand she may very well be surprised. Just make sure she packs for either cool and rainy or dry and sunny. She doesn't need a Parka, LOL, but she should be prepared with at least a coat. Hope that helps!


Amiyah and me and Isis and Maximus were pretty busy out back this morning.
