Spring is in the air

Though we still have several feet of snow on the ground in many places, every once in a while, Spring gives us just a hint, a tease, that it is on the way.

This morning is a great example. Current temperature is 32, though it feels much warmer, about 35 or so :)

The air is wonderfully clear--you can see south for quite a ways. Far enough to see the squall that is to the south of us.

The light of the rising sun is different too, as it is moving Northward.

Patches of bare ground are growing larger (until the squall gets here that is).

Spring is a feeling as much as it is a date on the calendar.

snowing

Landscape = white

Depth = feet

Temperature = cold

I know the groundhog saw his shadow, and I know not to expect it to warm up until the last part of April/first part of May, but this is getting a little old.
