Yep, I’m calling it. It may only be March 14th, but it is definitely spring outside. Besides the fact that it hit 76 degrees on the mercury, he’s my other observations that spring has sprung –
- Geese have been flying migrating back north (even last week).
- I’ve spotted multiple robins.
- The birds have been chirping in the morning when I roll my bike out of the garage.
- When I’ve checked the weather on the National Weather Service’s website, it wasn’t listing the wind chill anymore… It listed the heat index!
- I don’t need to wear my headlamp anymore when running after work (because of the time change).
- I’ve been running in shorts!
- I’ve even been biking in shorts!
- Today, biking home from work I wore shorts, a short sleeved jersey, and arm warmers. I was too warm with the arm warmers. It’s March freakin’ 14th!
- It was so warm outside that it was nice returning home and walking into the refreshing cool garage.
These spring conditions are projected to be for at least the next week. As the forecast looks right now, the high temperature finally dips below 70 next Wednesday, but only to 68 degrees. The outlook my look spring-like, maybe even like summer, but I’m sure that we’ll see some snow in the air before things are said and done. I’m not purposely being pessimistic, just realistic This past winter was one of the mildest on record, but I never put it past the upper Midwest weather gods for some white stuff to be seen in early April.
However, until winter does come that one last time (if it does), you’ll find me outside enjoying this fantastic weather.
