March Winds
The March winds blow! Artist John Falter went to a small town in the Midwest for this 1952 cover of big storm brewing.

The panic even seized the white dog in the foreground, who just rears his head back and howls.

It’s funny how a picture can remind us of our past, I can certainly remember how the wind sometimes would howl and blow throwing a fright into me..
March blows in, cooling already chilly surroundings. Difficult to categorize, it simultaneously serves as wake for Old Man Winter and blustery harbinger to Spring.
