Spring is coming, hang in there everyone! Snow will be melting (not fun or good in some situations), warmer weather, leaves on trees, birds chirping!

Happy upcoming spring, DU'ers!

But it has snowed here in April so I am figuring no spring until may. Not as far as the actual weather anyway

Think it was 88, it was 89 degrees in march. You just never know here. But if it keeps like it's been going this year, I'm guessing snow in April
