Minnesota Weather

So there are 4 seasons in Minnesota, much like everywhere else. They are 'Nearly Winter', 'Winter', 'Still Winter' and 'Road Construction'.

This week we got our first taste of the changeable Minnesota winter, last week it had been in the 80's every day then it dropped about 20 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. On Saturday I took a picture of the neighbour's roof (like you do) at about 9am.



The neighbours actually phoned us in the morning to say, 'don't worry, its not normally this cold at this time of year'. And sure enough later that day we needed the air conditioning as it got really hot again. Some of the people we met from Church had a birthday party for their son Ethan, who Dan gets on well with later that day and it was lovely and sunny. We went to a great park (in fact in Minneapolis there are seemingly hundreds of amazing parks that are not at all crowded). We had cake and ice-cream and there were some 'awesome' (everyone says 'awesome' in MN slides for the kids.

Our stuff from the UK finally arrived too, which meant the house looked like a rubbish cart had emptied its load across the various rooms. We'll get a post soon to go into more detail and show some more of the house with furniture in it, but for now I'll just show this picture of Becky enjoying her first night in Dan's old bed.
