Things to do in Cincinnati – February

Wow! It’s February already! Is it just me, or is time just flying by?  It is nice to see that the days are getting longer. Even though we just had a snow and ice event to pause the city for a few days, and a little more snow is in the forecast, spring is on the way.  Ok. I know.  The groundhogs today all predicted that we won’t have an early spring. What do those furry little guys know anyway? No need to just sit inside and wait for warm days. There’s plenty to do in February!
