This Has Been A *Very* Long Winter

On Monday, as a point of reference, it reached 40 degrees.  And I want to say that Tuesday was mostly cloudy and not much warming than 40 (it was only two days ago and yet I can't remember what the weather was like, dammit).  If this were early January, we'd say it was a veritable heat wave.  But since it's late April, it's stupidly still winter.

Yeah, at least it's not snowing, and apparently yesterday/Wednesday morning is the last time this season we will have temperatures in the Twin Cities below freezing.  But it has been an incredibly slow slog out of the depths of winter, and we seemed to have plateaued at around 45 degrees, cloudy and windy for the entire month of April.  To me, that isn't spring; that's winter still not letting us go.  And it sucks, it honestly sucks.

Just needed to say that.
