ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Monday, March 1, marks the start of meteorological spring. And while temperatures felt rather chilly, much warmer spring-like weather is on the way for the rest of the week; a sure sign that spring is around the corner. "Well, in Minnesota when I think of spring, it's like freedom finally where we can get outside and enjoy the weather," said Rochester resident Janna Galbreath. "I'm a huge advocate for being outside every day." "The longer days, the sunlight, the just being able to get out," said Rochester resident Theresa Hurne. Whether you are a Rochester local or from out of state, spring has most of us thinking about nature and getting outside.
