March has been pretty much like a lamb, it's finally warming up!

However, the end of February was very much like a lion! There was one day where it was both pouring rain and really windy. The wind gusts were up to about 40-45 mph where I live and reached 70 mph in the mountains. Even though it was raining hard, I was seriously debating NOT using my umbrella because of the high wind. I used it anyway, but I had to hold it up at the top of the handle to keep it from swinging around so much, and it almost got turned inside-out several times. It also helped to hold it in front of you like a shield, but then you couldn't see where you were going! There were times when the wind actually made me stagger, and you just had to stop where you were and get your balance back! Ah, it was an awful day, that's why I'm really happy we have sunny weather now!
