February 3 weekend weather

WOW!! I can't believe just how high the temperatures jumped up like this in the midwest. Myself, I did not anticipate that the weather pattern would turn out to feed a strong low system sweeping eastward in canada that would heat up the entire midwest. It was 37F in International Falls, ~30F in Fargo, ND and 33F here in the U.P. ...then on top of that, the system transformed before it decided to drop a chilly blast of cold air down from the arctic onto us. What happened is that another strong low developed around Colorado so that strong winds could not push down from the north where a low in the midwest would push air up from the south. So now the temperatures in the midwest are hanging on pretty beautifully in the mid-twenties!!! Lets keep it this way for the rest of February and March PLEASE!!!
