January felt like the longest month ever in my personal opinion. I think part of that is because it was so incredibly cold!

Yes, we are used to the cold living in Minnesota but the month was exceptionally cold and colder than usual, which is really saying something. Now, warmer temperatures are on the way thankfully.

March is always a toss-up in our neck of the woods so I got a little worried looking at the Old Farmer's Almanac for the month. I do this just for fun and people are definitely passionate about it.

Some people don't believe in their methodology and others do. I am not sure if I do but I do like looking at their predictions at the start of the month. Their outlook for March is one I definitely want to believe!

Mid-month, temperatures will warm up so much, that we can possibly expect some rain showers. Rain will continue through the end of the month, along with warm temperatures. We could even be about six degrees above average throughout the month. I will take it!
