It’s a typical Minnesota spring — that is, winter refuses to let go of its grip, even though it is officially spring now. As requested by my co-workers, I snapped a shot of a snow bunny Friday, thanks to the snowstorm moving through — but by Saturday (see the “before” and “after” shots by clicking on the bunny headline), the bunny was gone. Nevertheless, there remains to be plenty of snow cover, even though I heard a weather forecaster say that everything would melt by Easter Sunday. Not so!

Just like Garrison Keillor says, you’re not really from Minnesota unless you complain about the weather.
A snowstorm is headed this way with about four inches of wet snow forecasted, which will start to fall Thursday and persist through Friday.
