“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”
No predictions here, as March may come in like a lamb and leave like a lion.
After all, it is spring, and weather can change in a “New York minute.”
On the 9th, our clocks spring forward—some automatically and some manually.
The first day of spring is March 20. And I hope you have a gentle day.
