I have a feeling winter isn't nearly finished with us yet.

Even though I love winter, (Disappointed in winter this year in my area of the northeast, low snow totals, temps too warm) I will welcome an early spring. I love to garden, so maybe I will be able to get a head start on the veggie and flower gardens. I even like to mow my lawn. LOL


@charsha , I would never rely on P Phil or even the prevailing temps to determine when I plant things outside.  There's a map for that.  Never before April 15 here.

Well I guess one's point of view is where one is located in the country.  For those who have an unbearably hot summer and mild winter I can understand not wanting an early spring.

 

However for those of us who see a long dreary cold winter with mostly gray skies day in and day out an early spring is welcomed! 

 

The summers here in SE PA can get very hot & humid but we always get a break in the weather and it rarely gets into the 90s and above.  It might last a week or two.  I can't imagine living where it's so hot that it gets well above 100 for weeks on end even if it's a dry heat.

I went to to see Phil one February 2.   Haven't fallen for his forecasts ever since that day!

Phil isn't very good at predicting the weather. He's been right only 40% of the time.

 

I would like an early spring.  We haven't had spring weather in years.  We go from winter right into summer.

 

I don't like winter. Two weeks of it is enough for me.  It is a dangerous time of the year for many.

I don't even know what early spring means.  We never see spring until mid April regardless of what the rodent sees.

WV + January + February + March = winter, period.  April can be iffy on weather, but guaranteed mud season.

Here in NE PA  spring is 6 weeks away, spring will not be early, it will arrive March 19th, no matter what the over grown rat says.

 

The whole Phil thing is so dumb, I can't believe the number of people that go watch it.

They go to drink and party and have fun.  The town doesn't mind.  This event brings in money to the area.
