March: In like a ?, out like a ?

As I was walking through brown, crappy snow and lamenting the fact that I picked the wrong kind of jacket to wear … again! … I had a flashback to first grade at my now-defunct Forbes Elementary (My elementary school closed in 1988 and is now a bar called “The Boondocks”). We would make these construction paper lions and lambs during the month of March in honor of the old saying, “If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb,” and vice versa. In northern Minnesota sayings like this are both common and extraordinarily incorrect. March goes in and out like it damn well wants to, it doesn’t care if you like it or not and if you ever get tired of the crusty cookie dough snow that clogs driveways and parking lots, March is the first to tell you that you’d better just be glad it’s not February again. May? You want it to be May? May is a f’ing pipe dream. Bring an extra jacket because it’s going to snow tonight, punk.

OMG! March is Hillary Clinton!

I still want it to be May, though.
