Column: Will spring be here soon? I'm ready for the circus

WORTHINGTON — I am not the Minnesotan I used to be. I remember well when someone would report, “It’s really cold,” and I would think, “Well, I’ve got a good coat, I’ve got a good cap,” and I would plunge into the cold feeling snug — or smug. (This was in a time when I also wore zipper overshoes and a wool scarf around my neck.)
