I’m by no means one of those people that lives in a four-season climate and loathes the fact that a portion of the year it gets cold and (gasp) snows. However, anything can get old and the lousy March weather (especially in the earlier weeks) really has me ready for Spring. Yesterday it was 50 and today it’s back down below 30. And we might get another 3-5 inches tonight after what was one of the top ten snowiest February’s on record.

But it just means the Spring will be that much more welcome. A favorite memory of mine from college was going on long drives with my buddies in early Spring. The trees just starting the bud and the ground throwing off the shroud of salt. The sun shining brighter than you remembered it could; flip-flops in 55 degree weather. And of course finding a random pub off the beaten path at the halfway point, signaling that it’s time to head home with the stomachs full.

These last four weeks of Winter are the hardest to put up with.
