Almost anywhere you travel in the United States some local will tell you, "if you don't like the weather wait 30 minutes." It's supposed to be funny and indicative of the rapidly changing weather patterns in that particular region. Personally, I don't find that old saw very funny, and since it can be applied to nearly every part of the country, not very helpful when it comes to predicting the weather.
I was reminded of this when I checked out the 5-day weather forecast for Federal Dam, Minnesota, the "town" closest to us on Leech Lake. It appears that if I don't like the weather I won't have long to wait for it to change. Within four days, from Wednesday to Saturday night, the temperature will drop by 50 degrees -- 72 for a high and 23 as a low.
