Here in Minnesota it's not rare to rain in the winter...but usually not in January. This is the month we have our winter carnival, you know, ice sculptures, ice hockey games on the lake, they had to give up the hockey because of about 3" of rain on the ice, it was not a pretty sight! Walking around here get's to be a real challenge in the parking lot's at the stores. So far this season has been really bad for the whole world, so Minnesota weather isn't so bad compared to Haiti and California's weather. People laugh at our snow season but the worst we get up north here is snow and tornado's, not that tornado's aren't bad, we do get great warnings from the weather centers so we can prepare for the worst. Everyone say your prayers for Haiti, I can't imagine how horrible it is for them.
