I do appreciate how they released the winter wrap-up today, as though winter is over for us. Of course, February 28 does mark the end of meteorological winter, which runs from Dec 1- February 28. So as you prepare for more snow today, keep telling yourself that winter is over. Though, to be honest, the groundhog appears to have the edge on this one.
*Well, okay, maybe not technically "ever" - but at least the coldest month so far in the past 180 years of recorded data. It just feels more validating to simply leave it at "ever"!
