I forgot to post it this weekend, but Minneapolis received a small bit of snow on Saturday morning. Here's the photographic proof. It was just a few flakes, really. They stayed for a few hours in the shade until it finally warmed up. I mention it because we have a frost advisory for the morning. I'll bring in my 2 flats one more time tonight. I hope this time will finally be the last time for that cold danger.
The Minnesota state DNR provides this table for freeze probabilities in Minneapolis in the spring season.
| temp (C/F) | probability of target temperature after that date | ||||||||
| 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.40 | 0.50 | 0.60 | 0.70 | 0.80 | 0.90 | |
| 2C/36F | May 24 | May 18 | May 14 | May 10 | May 07 | May 04 | May 01 | Apr 28 | Apr 24 |
| 0C/32F | May 12 | May 06 | May 03 | Apr 30 | Apr 27 | Apr 24 | Apr 22 | Apr 18 | Apr 13 |
It's only April 23rd today, so there's still historically about a 2/3 chance for another freeze before the season is done. This year, however, has been unusually warm. I'm willing to hope that tomorrow morning's freeze is the last one.
