Spring on Cape Cod rarely arrives before late May.

Yeah, we're in the February doldrums. After nine months of this
(and several more to come) spring can't come soon enough!

Steelies were on schedule, golf was early

First year in 5 that we are here for Winter. Pandemic, and Jeanne wouldn't travel South because of it. This really sucks.

I was moving snow most of the day yesterday. Just don't want to do this anymore. I will be in SC next Winter.

Looking forward to golfing tomorrow, been puttying, sanding and painting for two weeks straight, I’m ready for a change of pace tomorrow.

I agree ! the weather may be early or late but the fish go by their biological clock that’s never far off

Actually Wayne, the Bass are phototropic. Their instinct to migrate is triggered by the angle of the Sun. That's why some fish start migrating South in August.

Tough one to call. Phil saw his shadow, Staten Island Chuck did not I thought New Englanders relied on the blooming of the snowdrop as an indicator of Spring's coming.

How true that is..
Many many times over the years I’ll leave the Q on beautiful April day, sunshine, flowers out, T- shirt weather and head to the elbow to trout fish. It’ll be drizzly, cold, stark, like late February. No sign of spring at all.
All to enjoy that deep bone chill from standing in the 38° water.
Fun

May fortune favor the foolish....
