Poll
Do you want March come in like a lion or lamb this year?
 If it indeed comes in like one and out like the other, I I prefer it come in like a lamb, because snow doesn't stick around long in late March or early April.
 I hope it comes in like a lion and that's our last storm of the winter
 My preference? In like a lamb , out like a lamb and every day in between. I am sick of winter weather!
