!!!!!hell yes it's march!!!!

you can't impeach march

I can try.

If we make it through Passover,
Everything's gonna be alright come Eastertime
It's the coldest time of false-spring,
and I shiver when I see the fallin' snow.

I hereby banish March into the past with each passing (dragging agonizing) second. Each second that passes is one less second of March and one tiny step closer to April, where the real springtime action will be (probably).

another month and then we'll be happy / just one more month and then we'll be happy

<3 but ;_; for gerry

gloucestershire wildlife tapestry -- nature sounds from day and night, it's delightful, trust me

heard the ice cream truck for the first time today

no way

yeah, high of 51° today

also that jingle would make me kill myself if i were the driver

highs here supposed to stay in 50s till sunday, then hit 70 as soon as april arrives = just get outta here, march

on the other hand: my front yard is a pit of mud and standing water, and I am not looking forward to being devoured by mosquitoes =.o

ice cream!!!

Brackish water! 50-something! That's gonna be us come this weekend, with any luck. I just want to not wear a hat every time I leave the building.

I was just thinking today it's almost Easter and I am still wearing my wool hats. I will probably be wearing them until May.

part of me is beginning to look forward to night swimming.

Lolchicago: 35° and the coffee shop and the cafe on my street have their fronts wide open.

I haven't left the house for almost 3 days.

have had the weirdest most lingering cold all week. was out of work 2 days, spent last night sweating like a bastard. fuk u march.

is it time for an april thread? because we are getting successive waves of awesome thunderstorms down here, and I am over the moon about it.

it is 35 and "blustery" here, so maybe not quite yet

i prefer my weather to bluster tbh

I think this thread will suffice because it will still document the painful slowness of the onset of spring.

I'm jumping for joy over here b/c it's supposed to be 50-60 for the next four days. Four days!!! No gloves! A jacket!!

I can go with jacket. Still prob medium coat weather for me. It takes a month or so to shake of the residual winter bone chill.

Yeah I'll still be wearing a hat. Also I guess high temp today is 42, which is nice but not what I thought. I want it to be warm enough to smell the mud.

I will probably keep wearing my hat until it is 70.

I am getting tired of wearing boots.

I went for a walk on Monday, it was almost warm enough.

I don't mind walking in the cold -- it's has its unique charms, but I love walking in general -- but I am DEF tired of boots. I've already busted out the sneakers (for walking).
Today seems like a mighty fine day for a walk, actually.

I forgot to mention that I saw several falling snowflakes on Monday, but I'm convinced it was just a lighthearted joke from nature.

hell yes, it's april
APRIL!

Is it always this windy in the spring? I feel like I would have noticed it in the 10 years I've lived in Brooklyn but this year it seems especially cruel that the sun shines and the "temperature" is like 55 but HAHAHAHA NO ACTUALLY THERE IS BITTER WIND FREEZING YOU.

My eyes keep watering so bad from all the wind.

I know! Maybe I just really want to go for a bike ride where my ears and face don't freeze.

The wind is my enemy. I think it actually goes through my body and I do not appreciate that.

I want more April showers! We had some impressive straight-line winds ahead of the front that blew through here last night... popped my balcony door open and then slammed it shut. Guess it wasn't latched.

I haven't owned a hat or scarf all winter, and I finally just got gloves a couple weeks ago.

You're nuts! I wear a scarf and various hats Oct-May and then I switch to my lite scarf.

Was totally wrong abt weather today btw. It's cold.

77 on Tuesday!!!

Goodbye, March!!

enormous amts of rain falling over here

It is raining and blustery here this morning, so I walked to work! So fantastic.

There are plants growing visibly from one day to the next outside the windows now. It was warm enough to not wear a scarf on Monday, totally gorgeous. One week til May!!

yay!

it's still march :\

yeah but soon things will get noticeably better
and in the meantime look what i found -- an old picture of me in my bluebird of paradise costume!! (halloween 1999)

silflay! I spent a fair amount of time at work this afternoon doing GIS searches for rabbits in tiny tents.

!! aren't they wonderful?!?
those are just regular sized blades of grass btw -- i could probably hold two rabbits in the not-very-large palm of my hand

also it's getting niiiiiiiiiiiiice here, and not just one day either -- like a couple days in a row. i'm feelin it.

Hrududu

i don't hear any hrududu but this partic warren is about 2 feet from a street with heavy foot traffic (and occasional car traffic)

just a small boomp to say that spring is finally here -- it goes between being kinda hot and kinda cool, lots of rain, lots of moodiness, some thunder/lightning, lots of very beautiful hours followed by a huge tantrum. good times! springtimes.

this is what i was excited about in march.

also? last day of may, that officially concludes our season itt.
until next year!

boomp

it's raining balls here, love it. spring is my favorite week (lol cleveland weather joke)
