Spring is coming, hang in there everyone! Snow will be melting (not fun or good in some situations), warmer weather, leaves on trees, birds chirping!

Happy upcoming spring, DU'ers!

1. Oh I hope so!

But it has snowed here in April so I am figuring no spring until may. Not as far as the actual weather anyway

April 1st one year, first Cubs game of the season, snow. Another year had a snow storm in April. Here's all the days it has snowed in Chicago in April. Ya never know here. Could be 80 degrees

4. 13.6 inches of snow in April 1938! ugh! nt

5. But I. 1988

Think it was 88, it was 89 degrees in march. You just never know here. But if it keeps like it's been going this year, I'm guessing snow in April

8. I went sledding yesterday when the sun was out… It was chilly but fun...

But can't wait for my tulips to come up… The deer eat some and some I just get to enjoy.
