Well we don't tend to have that problem around here.

But I'm sure you live a shrimpy (though not compared to some towns i've seen...i mean, 700 people? Our class has more people in it) town. Our subarb alone is like 65,000 people. And theres what, 30 more subarbs? We have St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, MInnetonka, Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, etc. And those are just some of the big places on this side of the cities. Wait until you get East of the cities.
And its a typical Minnesota day weather wise. Meaning its kooky. 84 in southern MN, 34 in northern. Snow in Roseau and Lake of the Woods. Welcome to Minnesota, land of wacky weather. A lesson to be learned here. Expect snow almost year round.

HAHAHA it's funny...in Roseau it's like 34 and snowy, and less than 50 miles away, there's a tornado. It's great.

And like 100 miles from there, its 80 and at 66% humidity, feeling like the middle of a soggy July day.

Yeah....though my point was how wacky it is to have snow and a tornado within a 50 to 100 mile range of each other. Heh.

Yeah, but to have all three within one state that really isn't that big is still funky.

Exactly. Though it was probably warm up by the tornado by default, because of the conditions needed for a tornado to form. It was also pretty humid. (This was up by Fergus Falls)

Tornados require cold and warm to form. Which is why we wont really get storms here cuz we only have warm air.

Right...the storms out ahead of a cold front. We'll get storms tomorrow when the cold front passes through here in the afternoon. Then it will be cold. 60...

Yeah, it was crazy Sunday. We were were at like 86 at 5PM before the storms really hit, and like 64 at 6PM one hour later when they were through.

No, we're a little bigger than that. Within our city limits, which are extremely tiny, we have 2,354 residents and only a tiny amount of our population lives there. I just read on the net that our actual population for Newton is 15,538. Like I said, nobody lives in town.

Not bad. Our 65,000 is split up into like two main sections, one by us by the movie theatre, and the other a ways away. I dont even know really how to get to the other part.

Yeah, because the east side of Plymouth is just so insignificant to us. (Haha just kidding.)
But yeah, because we have 2 school districts within our city, it is kind of split up. Very interesting.
