Wildfire watch posted for southern Minnesota for the next few days. No open fires allowed, including backyard firepits. The relative humidity has been very low, causing respiratory conditions for the eldery people. Some lakes have low water areas. Late planting of crops because of the dry and cold weather. Only 20-30 percent of the state has been planted. Cold weather has impacted the Minnesota fishing opener this weekend, which resulted in the lack of sales associated with that sport, including bait shops, resorts and tourism areas. Live bait has been short because of ice still on lakes in northern Minneosta. Ice rolling up on shore damaging cabins and structures in northern Minnesota because of very windy conditions and the lack of rain to melt the ice.
