March is prime time here in south central alaska, lots of snow (600"+ on Mt. Alyeska) long days, and the sun has some warmth in it. Now when we still have a foot of snow in the valley in May... That's when I start thinking about the lower 48. We have 4 seasons, it's just that one of them is 6 months long.
It happens around there EVERY spring, mid-late March, the days get longer, we do our goofy Daylight Savings Time routine, get a couple nice sunny days, the Daffodils poke their silly heads out and then BLAMMO!!!... another snow storm. NEVER fails to fake me out.
I grew up in Upstate NY in the 1950's and I got real tired of -35 degrees F and multiple feet of snow. Well, 23 years later - I was in sunny California and threw away my snow jackets, wooly pants and since retirement - I only wear shorts year round playing golf [wink]
