Okay, I'll admit it. Except for some snow in Green Bay, there's absolutely no weather going on anywhere in the Upper Midwest today.

So instead of being glued bug-eyed to my computer monitor slaving over a hot doppler like I do on severe weather days, that means I get to do the Maytag Weather Repairman thing today.
The good news for me is I get to do one of my favorite parts of this job. Go outside INTO the weather and (at least attempt to) capture the flavor of today's weather product.
So forgive me for going all photo journalist crazy with spring fever today. I hope you'll enjoy the images. Please don't tell my boss I had a great time doing this.
