Spring break is almost over, and classes resume on Monday, maybe.
So of course nature is getting its revenge. We’re under a blizzard watch from 7pm tonight until Monday at 4pm, as my students are trying to get back, but already I’m hearing from some that flights are delayed or cancelled. Classes are going to be under “reduced operations” on Monday, but they aren’t canceled, so I’ll be teaching over Zoom. Whee!
It’s already snowing.
Welcome back to Minnesota, gang!



And in the west, a widespread, unprecedented March heatwave is expected to arrive starting next week. Here in the PNW it feels like winter passed us by. My yard is a veritable jungle right now, daring me and my arthritic bones to come take it on. Gonna be a yellow jacket bonanza this summer with all the queens overwintering with nary a scratch.
I’m half expecting to see an dad and son pushing a shopping trolley down that road.
Expansive March storm ramping up, bringing snow, strong winds to millions
Doesn’t that give you a nice rosy feeling of solidarity?
