"Spring" needs to be revisited

March 20 or Vernal Equinox as first day of Spring?
This needs to be revisited. Three inches of snow fell last night, and it is a few days into April.
It is not random aberration. Frequently we get snow in April. I don't associate "spring" with snow.
I remember in college days, during Spring Break we get snow: perhaps it is better named as Winter Break II, or Almost Spring Break.

Is it because of Global Warming that weather go out of whack? We had 60's days before the so-called first day of Spring.

Well the label on the calendar is not so important, just test the temperature outside and dress accordingly.
Who cares what the calendar says? Perhaps the farmers do, to plan when to put seeds in and all that.

I am glad I am not doing the hard labors of farming.
