The aftermath of Gustav brought welcomed relief to heavy set Minnesotans this weekend. After suffering through two months of dry and hot conditions in the Land of 10,000 lakes, according to weather reports, the low pressure system created by Gustav pulled cool Canadian weather down and temperatures "dipped" in Minnesota to a frigid 65 degrees. Right or wrong, Chubsters were finally lifted of the anxiety of having to wear short sleeved shirts and shorts, which they quickly replaced with justification to break out the cover-up clothes. Oooohhhh It's Coooollllddd was a popular conversation this past weekend at an afternoon Twins game. A drizzle on a 65 degree day brought out hooded sweatshirts, down vests, and fall coats that are no doubt here to stay. The same 65 degree day in Spring, that after the long winter hibernation, T-Shirts are worn and the white legs of winter make their first appearance of the year. However now, the Fair has come and passed, school is back in secession. The Vikings are on. Busy wishing away the nasty summer weather and hope it doesn't return, many cold blooded Minnesotans eagerly ready themselves for the much preferred season of parkas, elastic bands, seclusion and comfort.
