Well spider season is here. Had one of those stupid brownish yellow ones that move really fast crawling on the coffee maker when I was making coffee and there is one of the same type on my office room wall and its a bit too high up for me to get with the device to put it outside. Must be a nest

Glad we’ve been getting good rain recently.  Time to warm the soil.

It’s white again outside.  What a whiplash.

Snowing pretty hard currently.

Definitely a drier look on ensembles…especially SNE.

It will be nice to get the ground dried out for spring yard work, hiking etc.  I think everybody in SNE is out of the drought conditions now.

Yeah, I guess I didn't pay attention because I was not expecting that.  Only a dusting at my place but nothing here at the office in Waterbury.

A few flurries here. 36°

I keep having to remind myself it's just the first week of April...

It's just a slog, this time of year.

We've had decent springs once in a while over the decades but those are more the exception to the rule.  As climate and data empirically show, we more typically suffer these ~ 6-week purgatories between the end of March and early May ... give or take. 

Some are cold and 'that one last chance to snow' and questionable perspectives on reality hold outs ... heh, notwithstanding.   For those that long for warmth and covet those visions, this year seems particularly annoying so far.   We've like 3 different species of BD fronts spanning just the last 6 days.    N door, E door, quasi lost in a normal door...    We may be carrying a positive anomaly in BD even for our spring lorn region.

Yeah just a dusting here too, but back to white.

A reminder that I guess it’s not as far away as it feels.
