I remember those days! It feels like it's above 60 degrees here today. Sun is shining, just a light breeze. A sweatshirt is too warm, but a regular shirt is too cold. What's a person to do? :)
To quote the article, in case it disappears: Rachael Kroog thought it would be a great idea to have a penguin from the Como Zoo appear with her band, Kidpower, on the Winter Carnival ice palace stage Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately, the plan had to be scrapped. The temperatures are expected to be too cold for this particular breed of penguin.
"The penguin will have to bow out," Kroog said.
And if it's too cold for penguins, you can imagine how the musicians have been faring on the frigid outdoor stage.
So penguins even have a limit when it comes to cold weather.
I do hope those aren't requirements for being a True Minnesotan(TM)!! :) I've been watching the palace on the webcam. Didn't know about the block with a perch in it. Was that intentional?
My mom just called. She says it's cold. She's escaping for a week though and coming here! :)
