Spring just does seem to want to come this year. Cold temperatures and an 8″ snowfall on March 24 already had the community white. Add another several inches of new wet snow followed by a drop in the thermometer has Sleepy Eye and a good part of the state reeling again.
The calendar says April 3 but reports earlier this week still had over 20″ of ice on Sleepy Eye. The annual Easter Egg Hunt was moved to the Event Center due to snow cover at Allison Park. Spring high school sports teams have yet to begin competing, many of the participants not even having the opportunity to practice outdoors. And, the way things looks today, coupled with a single digit temperature expected tonight and only near freezing temperatures predicted for the next week….it’s going to be while!
