Last month City Pages brought you the story of a perfectly decent drawing of a dick in the snow of Loring Park in Minneapolis. All in good cheer, we thought then.

Sure, it was a little chilly in early January, but no one worried. This -- until we're absorbed by Canada -- is still Minnesota and besides, this winter's been unusually mild. The rest of that month, and in early February, the daily high temperature often rose above freezing; and last weekend was so unseasonably warm, people stripped down to their shirts and dined outdoors on patios.
