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

Growing up in the Northeast, spring was my least favorite season. I remember it as a slurry of dirty snow, muddy boots, damp mittens and dead yellow grass poking through during thaws. I never understood the appeal of the season til I moved to East Tennessee, where it really does that Bambi thing where everything suddenly flowers in mid-to-late March, we get highs from 65 to 75, and it is just totally gorgeous (if hard on the sinuses).

take it to the Hell Yes It's September thread, Spring-haters

Spring is great, if you can get it.

it's the best weekend in Texas

best thing about Spring here: wildflowers, miles and miles of wildflowers

spring in new york is rainy horseshit ime

tipsy otm i think though i've never been to east tennessee in the spring

It’s fucking HEAVENLY in TN in the spring — dreamy even when it’s “cold”

I woke up, read all your posts about beautiful spring weather, and was consumed with envy because it's been cold and rainy and gray here and I didn't expect it to change for another few weeks. Went out to walk the dog, and it turns out to be the most beautiful sunny spring day, just perfect.

I don't have to work today except for class prep, so I'm going to go for a long walk in the sun and listen to a Springsteen concert from 1977.

Dogshit, surely. The melt revealing the hundreds and hundreds of shits people thought the snow excused them from picking up. Now all semi liquified.

It's still freezing here. Ugh.

Supposed to be 60 in a few days! Part of the thrill of March is the variation in temps bc it makes the good days feel extra extra extra good

It's true – the current forecast says we'll be hitting 7°C on Tuesday and 11°C on Wednesday, which feels like a small miracle right now. Too bad we'll still be stuck at sub zero temperatures this weekend, as I'm supposed to go for a physically distanced walk with some friends.

windows are open and i can hear the BQE in the distance

And just like that boom
It’s MARCH!!!

It’s like 45 degrees and I’m loving it

My first day back in the office! (RIP)

paused at the intersection of an east-west road and soaked up thirty seconds of sun in the brisk morning air before plunging into the valley of tall campus buildings on my way to work. hello march!

that sounds lovely! i took off my hat outside and only wore one pair of stretchy knit gloves. totally sublime to feel the air on my skin again. i actually felt the warmth of the sun yesterday and saw some lil crocuses peeking through the ground on campus today.

Lol I somehow misread that as lil cockroaches

March is not playing: high of 82 today

Supposed to hit the mid-60s on Saturday, then a inch or two of snow on Monday. Taking advantage of fake Spring in the meantime though.

It went back to the 30s here :-/
Classic March

high of 70 today o_0

Outside for the first grill of 2022 ✅

Upper eighties today.

felt great doing shirtless runs today and yesterday, sun on skin is such a wonderful feeling after winter

74°F today; snow likely on wednesday morning

march

literally below 40 the rest of this week now. first rollercoaster plunge of spring. i hope we have like 5 instead of 7 before the lilacs bloom, when spring is officially moving into summer afaic.

Yeah it snowed today. I don’t care though because the trajectory is POSITIVE and UPWARD compared to the fluctuations of, say, November when things go from bad to worst for the following 4 months.

here comes the front; gonna drop 25° in eight hours

cat is not amused

we made it! we fucking made it!!!

know what's a great dreary day in march record? thelonious monk's "straight, no chaser"

¡¡¡¡LFG IT IS MARCH!!!!!!!

just walked thru quite an angry little flurry of rain and didn't care because it's March

It may suck today or even tomorrow and the next day but overall it’s getting better. That’s inevitable and I’m here for it!!

The excitement of March is dampened a little by the prospects of a snowstorm getting prepared to dump up to a foot of snow on us tomorrow. :/

Also the part of the forecast that pointed out additional systems on the way that may likely mean March alone exceeds our snow totals for all of the rest of winter.

Fret if you must — I will deal with snow when it happens but the trajectory is inevitable. It will gradually get better and no snow dumps can stop it.

Not fretting, I'll believe it when I see (and shovel) it, just admitting that it dampened my excitement somewhat.

I’m in Washington where we have had two-tenths of an inch this winter, forward your snow to us!

Oh hi March!

March is a weird word for a month.

Only marginally less odd that it comes from the name of the Roman god of war! Winter's over lads, get back to it

It's not like many of them make much sense. February is just a weird word altogether, while September, October, November and December are based on the Latin for seven, eight, nine and ten, respectively. All very plainspoken and orderly you might think. But they're months 9 through 12.

The numerical discrepancy is because the calendar ours is based on originally only had ten months in it so when they inserted two new ones it got all messed up. Why did they add them at beginning and mess up the count? They didn't! Originally New Year's Day was March 1st and January and February were at the end of the year.

xp - half a century old and as fresh as ever!

definitely getting the 'in like a lion' treatment here in northern california

SoCal, too!

calm down march jeez
