March 2010 is more of a lamb, then a lion. The days are warmer then normal, and it even rained yesterday. Our snow cover is shrinking, but we still have plenty of snow in the woods. March is always an transition month from winter to spring. The only draw back that I can see is that we are just a few days away from the "mud season". This is when the local gravel driveways and roads turn to mud. Then someone drives through them putting making ruts that in turn freeze at night. All a part of the transition to spring. Our blacktop road is getting some potholes popping up here and their, plus the areas that they patch last fall with gravel topping are getting to be ruff and the sides of our cars and pickups are muddy.
I am attaching a picture of a sunrise over the "big lake". Our sunrise is 6:48 am today with sunset happening at 6:12 pm. Now next Sunday we switch back to daylight savings time when we will spring ahead one hour. Our high temperature today was 54 degrees setting a new record for the old 52 degree day a few years ago. The average maximum temp in Minnesota increases 15 degrees from March 1st to the 31st.
