February is the final month of winter in Minnesota…technically. Spring starts March 20th, so here’s hoping for a mild month, weather-wise. Of course, we’ll need to wait for official word from Punxsutawney Phil and his elusive shadow – that’s right Groundhog Day is Wednesday, this week! Plan your week accordingly 😊
