I often try to target my musings toward the Saturday crowd. If we are expecting a snowstorm, I won't bother talking about how nice and sunny it is as I'm writing. In this particular case, you should be enjoying a "warm-enough" spring day after having just enjoyed that amazing weather on Friday! Suffice it to say, spring is on the way. Yes, we all know there is the imminent threat of that April snow, but at this point we can take it.
