Feb 25, 2013 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
I have no farmer's almanac and my smartphone weather app only goes until Saturday. So this is by no means official, but I'm thinking March will go in like a lion and leave like a lamb. We've endured a lot this winter, haven't we? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Thick skin isn't such a bad thing, right? Enjoy this week's CC!
