Ice is almost gone

No snow this March, first time since 1878 that March has gone snowless. Gonna be 75 degrees on Wednesday, FIL invited me to join him for a 12:30 pm tee time. Who can say "no" to that? Who?

This one is going below the belt, those of us who are stuck in the depths of hell known as full time employment.

What was the death toll for people falling through the ice?

RTS - sorry but you know full well the torturous journey that are the Winters/Springs here. No snow for the month of March is pretty remarkable.

As for the ice toll, the numbers aren't out yet. Have to say that it felt like maybe 1 or 2 people this year, very low. I pulled up the historical data shows the last 5 years people have gotten much safer about it, assuming part of that is because of increased public awareness through various media such as t.v., internet, blogs like FTLOSBW, radio.

Yeah...tough to stomach the visual of Jan golfing at Wayzata CC with his FIL. Ouch...my solace is that I got sunburned twice last weekend. Nice...
