It might be cold and snowy now, but our US spring forecast brings promise of warmth! 🌤️ Our 2026 Spring Weather Forecast has been released!

Our spring outlook predicts that much of the country will experience DRIER-than-normal conditions, and WARMER-than-normal temperatures across much of the US, with a few exceptions.

(Remember: Temperature and precipitation levels are compared to historical averages to determine expected departures from normal.)

Our forecasts are based on three scientific disciplines: Solar science, climatology, and meteorology. Analyzed together, we can make long-range predictions that are especially useful for farmers, gardeners, landscapers, homeowners, travelers, event organizers, and other folks who just like to be outside 😊

A greater appreciation for nature, music, and meaning.

CARE PRO SPOTLIGHT: Get to Know Deb! ⭐️

☀️ Morning person or night owl?
Definitely a morning person! I’m usually up around 5 a.m., but I take my time getting going. My sweet husband keeps the coffee coming he pours it, then reheats it for me every half hour ☕ Lately, I like everything extra hot… especially my food!

🤎 What has caregiving taught me?
While it may not be surprising, I truly think of all my clients as family. I work closely with several clients living with dementia, and I always care for them the way I would hope to be cared for. I feel very protective of each one, they mean so much to me.

🥣 Food I could eat every week?
Oatmeal! Every morning I add raisins, chopped walnuts, and milk. If I don’t have it, my whole day feels off!

🏡 Why I love working at Home Instead
I’ve been with Home Instead for over 10 years, and it’s such a pleasure working with everyone here. It truly feels like being part of a caring family.
