According to the site linked below (& other online sources) spring doesn't arrive until 5:26 PM EDT.

Gents;
Sir Fish said .. "Bright and sunny for the dog walking this morning but quite chilly. Low 30's with some wind. Supposed to warm up as the week goes on so maybe some riding Thursday/ Friday. . . "

I say the dog is taking you for a walk. In reality would you be out walking in low 30's temperature if you did not have the dog?

Yes the dogs are an excuse. They need walked and I desperately need the exercise. I love eating and if I don't walk I would soon be too fat to ride a bike. My Female "Joy" is about done. Between the seizures and the arthritis in her Hips she is fast becoming crippled. Getting a new Huskita pup next week.

It's been distinctly "spring like" around here the last few days.
But we've seen snow on the ground in April before so I don't really trust it yet....

One of my memories today on FB from a few years back was a spring snowstorm here.

We were lucky. The power here only went off long enough to make the TV and all the computers reboot. Fortunately it was after the radio show one of the computers records for me every week.

I need to have a walk around outside today to check because it sounded like the wind was trying to take the roof off most of the night...
