Blue J Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 On Monday It's supposed to be 70 and sunny here in lovely southwest Ohio...and then wind and rain and 48 on Tuesday. Even that doesn't say winter, though. We're a week away from spring, and I'm ready for it. :) OMG - Me too. Bring on sunshine and vitamin D :sundog: To me it doesn't matter whether it's sunny or windy and raining- I just love the first few really mild days of spring. I love the smell outside during a mild spring rain, or the feeling of sun on the skin on those first warmer days.  I love the winter too, but it's due in large part to the winters we have (which have been especially harsh in the past few years) that I appreciate the change to spring, too.  :sundog: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I will take it over snow. This cold does take its toll on me at times as I get older. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 These past few winters make me want to move south, but then I'd have to deal with the southerners.  Jk?  :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it there and the people are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's been my experience that people in the South are among the nicest people I've ever encountered in my life. Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama...really good people. Â Another place, a particular city, that has some of the nicest people I've ever met- Louisville, Kentucky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 65 degrees here and actual strong sunlight! My daughter started her first day at a new job and it was so nice to go pick her up with the windows open, sun outside and me listening to ATWAS! :sundog: :sundog:(She is 23 but doesn't drive yet due to severe OCD, which would be a whole 'other several threads. . . sigh) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Should we make a 'Spring' thread?  Technically it is still winter, but only for a few more days... Close to 70 here today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Oooh, 70 degrees, that is a lovely quantum leap!

blueschica Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What is this hellish forecast for 1 to 3 inches of wet snow for central PA on Friday morning??!! It won't stay long but still. . . . the first day of spring is supposed to be at least a little spring like so that my daughter and I can go to Rita's Italian Ice for the free spring ice and go to the frozen custard stand for the free spring cone! (First day of spring is big around here !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my husband I'd ask you if that was true or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iditarod race. Stuff like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Pirate Robert Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Spring doesn't come early enough to suit me here, in these foothills of the Appalachians, so am planning to take a trip with the kids during their spring break (the week which consumes the last couple of days of March with the first days of April) further south and east to the coast in SC, Georgia, or Florida, where Spring should be further developed and happening along nicely. Perhaps as far south as Florida. I am thinking as one option of a dual purpose trip to show the kids both St. Augustine, Fl, which claims to be the oldest city in the US (disputed with Pensacola, Fl. on the Gulf coast) and Cumberland Island, Georgia, right above the Fl. state line, which I have never been to (as opposed to St. Augustine, which I have been to once before), but which is by all accounts a wonderful coastal island wilderness paridise, for those who are into that sort of thing. We will be packing camping supplies for the latter. Â Anyway, maybe we will go to those places, maybe somewhere else. The main thing is that I want to take a vacation break somewhere where I can see and feel Spring already, and then return to my home, content in the knowledge that soon enough that same Spring glory will come to my place.
