tinner -- two months till guaranteed full snowmelt up in KC? -- Shirley you jest (Texas here)
in terms of meteorology/climatology, first day of spring is Friday -- also first day of primary severe weather season (pre-season from late Jan. thru Feb.)
lotsa wind in the atmosphere -- signature of this time of year -- for me, a felt thing -- the time to go take a coupla nice up-close out-in-the-open looks at choice supercells draws nigh -- my idea of BIG fun, lol
