53 degrees in February? I'll take it! @StutzkeWX and I took a walk along the Hennepin Canal in Geneseo yesterday -- and it was BEAUTIFUL!

I'm not ready for the warm weather to end 😢

I took @wqad @NewsEightDrone to Spring Creek which runs underneath the Hennepin Canal just east of Geneseo. Talk about relaxing! Perfect weekend to soak in one last warm view. #GMQC
