I now know that spring is on the way. No, the local Dairy Queen is not open. No, I have not seen the first Robin yet. What I did see was the first skunk of the year flattened out on the highway. Don't know what it is like where you live but here in NE Ohio when the skunks come out spring is sure to follow. Now if only the ice in the drive would melt so I could get the bike out.

Here in Mighty MO, the skunks are out all winter. We have the chance to embrace the perfumed aroma of PePe Le Pu all year. Lucky us.
Funny you should mention the skunk. We woke up this morning to the smell of one. I don't know how they can get around in the nearly 8 feet of snow we have, although it has settled and compacted some. Is Mr or Mrs Skunk getting around in tunnels? Do they wear little skunky snowshoes? How do they know that spring is coming? And is it really?

Trash eating vermin, dead in the road, is the only remaining sign of hope we have?

I'm glad Spring has showed up somewhere.
In Southern Illinois I think we are just going to go from winter to summer.
Last night was ~2" of sleet and ice, so lots of scrapping before dinner and this morning before breakfast. Tonight's forecast is for 2~4" of snow and colder temps for Thursday and Friday.
Sunny and mid-30's for Saturday and Sunday.....

Warmest February on record here in Washington state. Average temp was over 50F. Not a lot of rain either. Past two months I've been able to ride about 700 miles each month. Cherry blossoms and Dogwoods are blooming. Temps are forecasted to be way above 60F in the next few days - more great riding weather. Meanwhile on the East Coast... ugh.

At some point, you just have to give up and stay home. Familiar scene: people carefully driving on ice @ 35 or 40 mph, then some bozo flies by doing 65 mph with the inevitable results: dumb.

I have my maple trees tapped and had a good week of sap collection then 4 days ago everything slowed way down .The weather changed, never going below 40 deg. at night. That shut down the sap flow.If the weather doesn't get colder at night this could be another crap year .Good for brewing maple sap beer though! Today it's still 42 deg. at 11o pm ,not good.
o pm ,not good.

Goose poop, spring is on it's way.
As well, 4C yesterday, 8C today, posers out with snow and ice on the roads still. Saw a squid wearing sweats with his girl on the back getting the s--t scared out of hm when he ice underneath the water. Pretty surprised he kept it together but I'm sure there is brown skid mark in his shorts.

It's here...
the annual barrage of Live Oak leaves, which shed in spring before the new growth and pollen a few weeks away. We don't pick up all of them, just near the house and outbuildings. Supposed to rain the next couple of days, but it's welcomed...after I cleaned the gutters with the blower anyways.
First running of weedeater, mower and backpack blower...yeah
