According to a popular holiday song, the Christmas season is the "most wonderful time of the year" - but I have to disagree. In my opinion, springtime is the most wonderful time of the year for a few reasons, for several reasons. The days start to get longer (we finally change our clocks), the weather warms up, and (thank the Lord) baseball season returns.

Spring also brings the opportunity to get back outside and get your hands dirty in your garden and landscaping. You don't want to start gardening too early in the year though - you want to make sure the frost is gone for good. But how do you know when that is? Well, you turn to the experts with the Old Farmer's Almanac.

How the Farmer's Almanac Determines the Final Frost Dates

Keep in mind that the dates below are just estimations that the Farmer's Almanac has calculated based on data they gather from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The Farmer's Almanac says this about frost...

Frost is predicted when air temperatures reach 32°F (0°C), but because it is colder closer to the ground, a frost may occur even when air temperatures are just above freezing.

16 Indiana Towns with Dirty-Sounding Names

A majority of these towns were given their names in the mid-to-late 1800s as settlers making their way across the country found unclaimed plots of land and decided to make them their own. While I imagine they thought the names they came up with were innocent, and perhaps a tribute to something in their lives, pop culture has warped our minds to the point since then that we can't help but think of something about the town that was never intended by its founders. Take a look at this list. I guarantee there's at least one name that will make you chuckle.
