Right now the trend is up.\u00a0 The low last night was -16.\u00a0 This does not,\u00a0 however, qualify as a grab the beach towels and sunscreen sort of warm up.\u00a0 Nope, this is a Minnesota heat wave where cars start again, that kid with his tongue on the lamp post might be able to get free and ma can slide the clothes off the line since the clothes pin will open again.\u00a0 It’s not so much of a warm-up that Ole has to bring his pick-up in off the lake or that Peder has to give up on that snowmobiling idea.<\/p>\n
