Sick of Snow? The Old Farmer’s Almanac Has Good News for Spring

Sick of Snow? You Are Not Alone

Raise your hand if you are sick of snow!

There is a reason I did not go live with my mom’s side of the family in northern Wisconsin. I spent summers there as a kid and loved the mild temperatures, but we stayed far, far away in the winter. Below-zero temperatures and piles of snow just are not for me. I will take the 60-degree temps we saw in early January over the snow and cold we have dealt with in late January any day.
