    -deg|Feb 26, 2020

First of all, weather-wise, will March come in like a Lamb? That might very possibly be true this year. And as the old prediction goes, will it then go out leading us into April like a Lion? That's probably a hard question to answer at this point in time, even though longer term forecasts do seem to be quite a bit more accurate than they used to be, thanks to...

    Feb 26, 2020

    Ipswich split two boys' high school basketball decisions last week. Both of them were relatively narrow two-possession non-conference outcomes.
