Spring is in the air! It’s still cold, we just got a little more snow and it doesn’t look like spring but this weekend we spring forward with Daylight Savings Time and that means warmer weather can’t be too far away. As winters go this wasn’t the worst and at least we didn’t get the kind of snow that Boston got.
March is coming in like a lion so that means you’ll probably want to stay indoors a little bit longer, though there are plenty of fun things to do out doors this month in Minnesota. And if you haven’t gotten your ice fishing house off the lake yet you better hurry up. Ice houses were supposed to be removed from Minnesota lakes by March 2nd if you are south of the line and by March 16th if you’re north of it.
