Yes, I know, it's March, and March is a funny month.

The temperature this morning was a balmy 55 degrees. As the day passed, it dropped lower and lower, reaching the low 30s by the end of the afternoon with wind chill making it feel like a very cold 18 degrees. Isn't it supposed to get warmer as the sun rises higher in the sky?

I feel lucky though. Last night over two inches of rain fell here. That's a lot of water, but I'd much rather have the rain than the 21 inches of snow that fell where my folks live in upstate New York.

It's almost spring. Should I believe the calendar?
