It has been a full six months since the thermometer hit 70 degrees in Minnesota. It has been almost that long since a golf ball has been driven down a chilled fairway. That's all over now, golfers teed it up at Stonebrooke and throughout the metro today and swingers have been at the range since Monday morning.
There are still a few snow drifts here and there, but hardly noticed. They'll be gone tomorrow, highs will be in the mid-70s.
