But, despite the green grass and sunshine, Minnesotans appeared to remain remarkably drawn to winter activities.
KARE11 found people skiing on man-made snow in at Theodore Wirth Park.
WCCO found skaters on refrigerated rinks in St. Paul.
And KSTP reports that the annual ALARC ice dive on Lake Minnetonka will go on as planned this week. In fact, the unseasonably warm temps may bring a record turnout.
