Listener question: Can I still paint the garage this year?

A listener in Roseville wants to know if there’s still time to finish painting one side of their garage, which did not get painted this fall. To finish the job, they need one more day with temps in the 50s.

Retired University of Minnesota climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley reviewed the climate record in Minnesota, and says chances aren’t looking good until spring. He talked temperatures and other weather topics with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer in their weekly chat.
