Where is Spring?

Folks, for those of you not living on the East Coast or in Boston. Here's something to keep in mind. We've had snow twice in the first two weeks of the month. Temps haven't been above 40 for weeks (although Saturday is supposed to be in the 50s) but come Sunday - it's back to chilly weather and a monsoon-ish storm coming through Sunday and Monday.

What does this mean? Well a couple of things. In Boston Monday is Patriot's Day and the running of the Boston Marathon - in very cold, very wet, very windy weather. There was even talk of postponing the Marathon - something that has never happened in the 100 + history of its running.

Add to that the records.

I just heard on the radio that April 2007 in Boston is the coldest April on record in 113 years.

Perhaps Spring might just escape us this year and we can cut directly to summer? That wouldn't bother me a bit!

This weather absolutely sucks, doesn't it? Here in upstate NY, we're supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow. SNOW. Please bring on summer.

Oh man - I can't believe you're going to get that much snow mid-April. God help you! It's pouring here now, super windy and they say some snow could be mixing in. Does it really get any better than this?
