Phil Ethier's summary of the vagaries of Minnesota weather is right on the
money. It always pays to be prepared for rain, but if one is patient, the
sun will usually re-emerge before long. Emphasis on "usually".
Although I spend quite a bit of time in Minnesota every year, Phil's
reference to Minnesota as having a "Continental Climate" is new to me - but
I like it! Rather than trying to explain why the weather forecast was wrong
yet again, it'll be a lot easier to just say, "Well, that's what you get
with a Continental Climate."
In any event, the weather shouldn't deter anyone from coming to VTR in Red
Wing. If anything, the occasional shower will give the car polishers
something to do in their spare time.
