It's always nice during months like March when we get a sneak peak at the consistent warm weather that's to come. But don't get too excited to the point where you start putting away all your warm clothes! Most of us are sadly all too familiar with the fact that we can still expect random snow showers even during April.
Unless you're out of absolute necessities, avoid the stores and stay home.

Anyways, by the time you get to the store there will most like be nothing but long lines and empty shelves!
