I caught these scenes near the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus Thursday afternoon.

Signs of our extreme drought are also evident. Ponds are really low at Carver Park Reserve near Victoria, west of the Twin Cities Friday.
Highs will be in the 60s across most of Minnesota this weekend. That’s more than 10 degrees warmer than average.
Enjoy our unseasonably mild and colorful last October weekend.
