Images of spring
It's been a remarkable spring in the Upper Midwest this year. Record mild spring weather has pushed phenology two to three weeks ahead of schedule.
As I am prone to do, I have been capturing photos around the weather lab on occasion these past few glorious days. Our amazing weather is so good it deserves top honors on the blog today. After specualting on hurricanes and oil slicks and documenting NOAA's report on the hottest year on record so far, it's time for a little "fluff" piece on our remarkable spring.
I hope you'll forgive my dalliance as I share a few images of this most amazing Minnesota springtime. Photos captured around the Lake Minnetonka area.
Enjoy!
