Non-vember: Weird weather bliss continues
This is not your grandfather's fall in Minnesota.
It's November. The season formerly known as winter is nowhere in sight. Unseasonable to record warmth dominates North America and the Arctic.
This weather maps look more like late September than November.
Snow cover? What a concept.

The leading edge of snow cover should be encroaching in Minnesota from southern Canada this time of year. Not this year. You have to go north of Lake Winnipeg to find snow on the ground.
Sorry deer hunters.
Warm front parade
The jet stream continues to flow well north of Minnesota through central Canada. This odd parade of warm fronts...to our north continues across Canada.
Check out the forecast temperature lines from the Twin Cities NWS. When forecast lows are near the average highs, you know the weather is out of balance.
Blissfully weird.
It's another winning weekend for those who want fall to last as long as possible. On the plus side? The furnace stays dormant, and your heating bill is a pleasant surprise. Winter lovers look at the green grass and wax poetic about the cross country skis loitering in the garage.
Still, what a weekend ahead.
But it's got to be cold along the North Shore right?
And in the Red River Valley?
Enjoy.
