Sunday May 14: Record Breaking High Temperature in Minneapolis

Today's high temperature in Minneapolis was a record-breaking 64 degrees, two degrees higher than the previous record of 62 degrees, which occurred in 1990, 1973, and 1878. We might have had a shorter day with Daylight Savings Time, but it was certainly a beautiful day and evening too.

The high temperatures brought new flood warnings for several places in Minnesota, including parts of the Twin Cities. The high temperatures and rapid snow melt is causing ice jams on rivers, which are reaching flood levels earlier than usual. The cities of Fargo and Moorhead, who suffered severe flooding last year, have sandbags at the ready just in case.

Interestingly, a Minnesota city has some of the USA's most interesting weather. Rochester is third on the list of cities with the most variation in temperature, wind, rain and snow, and severe weather. Love it or hate it, I think that we can all agree that Minnesota certainly does have interesting weather.

Planning Your Minneapolis/St. Paul Garden?

You might well be, especially since this week you can probably see it again after the winter. While there is still some snow on the ground, gardeners are getting excited about their 2010 gardens, and there's plenty to do right now in preparation for fruit, flowers and vegetables in your garden this summer and fall.

• Take a gardening class, or attend a University of Minnesota Horticulture Day to get tips, advice, or find out how to grow that tricky plant that didn't thrive last year.
• Start planting seeds indoors. Many plants need to be started inside in early spring, and transferred outside once the threat of frost is over. Seeds to sow now include dahlias, hollyhocks, lettuce, and peppers. The University of Minnesota has a handy guide to starting seeds indoors, and a chart of when to plant what.
• Spring clean your garden. Cut back, mulch, feed and trim and get everything ready to look it's best. Here's what to do to get your garden ready for spring now, and when the last hard frost is past.
• Consider a rain garden in your garden design. Rain gardens help keep local waterways clean by collecting and  filtering rainwater through the ground before it reaches our lakes and rivers. Metro Blooms has a series of rain garden workshops starting March 16.
• For fanciful inspiration, visit the Macy's and Bachmann's Flower Show, held on the 8th floor of the downtown Minneapolis Macy's store, opening on March 28.

Minneapolis/St. Paul Bike Directions Now Available on Google Maps

And just in time for summer, Google Maps now has the option to display directions for bikes, as well as by car, walking, and public transport. Google knows where most of Minneapolis and St. Paul's bike lanes and bike routes are for the safest navigation of the Twin Cities by bicycle, as well as avoiding hilly terrain.

To get directions for cycling, either enter your start and finish point into Google as usual, then select "Bicycle" from the drop down menu. Or start from http://maps.google.com/biking.

Once you get bike directions, the map changes to show all the other bike lanes in the Twin Cities. Google is also requesting cyclists' feedback on missing bike lanes, bike friendly and bike unfriendly streets, and any other problems.

Forbes: Recession Easing in the Minneapolis Metro Area

According to Forbes magazine, the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area is tied for fourth place on a nationwide list of cities best weathering the recession.

1st: (tie) Washington DC and Austin, TX

3rd: Dallas, TX

4th: (tie) Minneapolis and Houston, TX

Interestingly, despite the stereotype of Texas' economy being based on oil, it dominates the top five.

Is Winter Over Yet, Minneapolis?

The City of Minneapolis has lifted winter parking regulations, the sun has been shining brightly, the snow is melting and one of the kids just found the other plastic Barbie shoe that was dropped outside and covered by snow since December. So winter is over in Minneapolis, right?

Actually, probably not. Spring arrives in fits and starts around here, and March has a tendency to be one of the snowiest months. Remember 2006, when Minneapolis received over 20 inches of snow in March? But then there was 2009 when just an inch of snow fell on the Twin Cities during the month.

So, it's possible we'll get more snow, and temperatures are certain to dip again before they rise and spring comes and summer truly begins. But it's great to enjoy the temporary sunshine now, and watch your feet on all the melted snow that refreezes into ice  every morning.

Donate Unwanted Musical Instruments This Week

Slightly random link up - the Minneapolis Fire Department and Ear Candy, a Arizona non-profit organization, are collecting musical instruments at Minneapolis fire stations next week.

Ear Candy refurbishes donated instruments, and will be giving them to Minneapolis Public School District to be used in music programs which have experienced cuts.

If you have an instrument to donate, you can bring it to any of the 19 Minneapolis fire stations between March 8 - 13. Instrument donations are tax deductible, and if you fill out a donor card, you'll be updated on where your instrument is placed.

Here's how to donate instruments, and locations of Minneapolis fire stations via Ear Candy's website.

Minneapolis one of 25 Best Cities to Raise an Outdoor Kid

In the fall, Backpacker Magazine named Minneapolis the 23rd best city in the nation to raise outdoor-loving children. The magazine cited Minneapolis' extensive park system, the second highest percentage of bicycle commuters in the nation, both frequently quoted facts about town. Our proximity to the Boundary Waters, the Apostle Islands, and the North Country Trail helped secure a place on the list.Backpacker also singled out the St. Paul Hiking Club who offer Sunday and Tuesday outings.

Now that winter is almost over, the warmer temperature mean more opportunities for outdoor recreation and getting children out in nature.

• There's still plenty of snow on the ground at local cross country ski trails. We have hundreds of miles of trails in and around the Twin Cities metro area, and many parks offer cross country ski rentals, and lessons for adults and children.
• March is maple syrup month, and nature centers across the Twin Cities have maple syruping events with demonstrations, hikes into the sugarbush, crafts and activities.
• Ice fishing is winding down, and it will be some while before fishing on lakes can start, but once it does, local lakes and ponds in the Twin Cities are stocked especially for young anglers, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has the Take Me Fishing program to encourage families to fish together this summer.

Looking for more ideas? The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has an excellent website with plenty of information on all kinds of summer and winter outdoor recreation in Minnesota, as well as ways to introduce children to wildlife and nature, and guides to visiting Minnesota's state parks.
