In Others’ Words: Weathering Spring

It’s the first day of spring. How’s the weather in your part of the country?

As I write this post Monday night, I’ve texted with a friend who lives on the east coast and who’s bracing for the fourth Nor’easter in three weeks to hit the northeast; the meteorologists named this storm “Toby.”

Meanwhile, the weather forecasters here in Colorado Springs are doing their “get ready for anything” dance, mentioning the words “rain” and “snow” and “cold” and “warm” all in the same sentences, and all in the next few days. My daffodils are starting to sprout, and I know I’ll have the chance to take a few photos of them covered in snow.

Springtime in the Rockies is here … and we can look forward to more snow … and flowers starting to bloom … and an ice storm or two (or more) … and warmer weather … and temperatures dropping below freezing. Because that’s what spring is like all over the state of Colorado. You just never know. And the funny thing is, Coloradans are proud of our fickle weather.

In Your Words: What’s spring like where you live? What do you like most about spring?
