Dec. 21st is the day I pretend to be the 1st day of spring to help me get through the long MN winter. (the days start getting longer)
Dear TurboZamboni,
(haven’t seen a turbo model, but have been next to a Zamboni, in reality, in the past. Islanders territory long ago.)
If it would help, those that hold to the Winter Solstice, count Feb. 2nd, as the 1st day of Spring, with the crocus shoots popping above ground.
