Happy First Day of Spring

March 1st is known meteorologically as the 1st day of spring. The statistically worst 3 months of winter weather are behind us and now March as a transitional month brings vigorous swings in weather but with a gradual shifting from winter storms to more of the spring time events.


Happy Spring!

Looking down at the current outside temperature of "39*" and it being almost midnight is actually a relief.

For me, spring starts the first day in March that I can get my kayak into open water on my favorite largemouth pond.

Wouldn't mind a few more (plowable)snow storms
But also have to start betting boat ready to launch for early april so I need some warmer weather.
Gonna need to bring in a front end loader to mover the 4ft high pile of now solid snow/ice so the hauler can get the boat out of my yard.

LETS GO BRANDON

Don't forget that daylight savings time is on March 13th, a week before the vernal equinox.
That should get peoples spirits lifting out of the winter blues!

Can you come over and do mine afterwards? I already had an offer from DerekI to dig it out! Only about 1ft blocking path not 4ft. I am more worried about the mud cycle!

I've noticed a bunch of downed tree branches popping up through the melting snow on my lawn. There are a few that I'm gonna have to take the chainsaw to. This should be a fun spring yard cleanup.
