It is 78 degrees F in Maine right now - and it's still astronomical winter.

But then again we didn't have much of a winter to begin with....

Instead of yard work, I should be enjoying the best cross country skiing of the season.

Deniers suck.

yup

We had no winter and it has been so warm that the crocus are all
done w/ their blooms ..... they don't like hot weather.

I did not get on my skis downhill or X-country once this winter.

Burb of Chicago. No. Fucking. Air. Conditioning.

The old argument of, "But it could get cold again, and the old ladies would freeze." They don't turn it on until goddamn May!

No one hear of heat stroke? Hot air rises you bastards! ...

The Commas are doomed - they need maple flowers to survive.

We have crocus (croci?) in full bloom. A wide variety of other spring bulbs budding rapidly. I had a few clusters of volunteer onions come up so I busted the clusters up a re-planted today. If we don't get another heavy frost, I could be harvesting onions in May.

A friend of mine was talking about going to see the cherry blossoms in DC last weekend. I realized that my first date with Mr Laurel, to see the cherry blossoms, took place in mid-April 9 years ago. Peak blossom time has shifted that much in less than a decade.
