It must be Spring, because...

- I left the house this morning with my hair wet, twisted and secured with a clip
- I noticed that I need a pedicure
- my allergies are back
- the cats are stalking the birds through the window screens

(no plant life is budding or popping up yet, I'm in the northeast)

What reminds you that spring has arrived?

My kids covered in mud after playing outside for less than 10 minutes = spring.

We once had a measurable snowfall on May 19, lol. The calendar says it's spring, so just play the game.

My favorite time of the year. I like summer but wish it could be spring all year. I hate cold weather. I dislike sweaty hot hot hot weather so springtime is better than summer in that regard.

When it is 70 degrees or higher for 3 days in a row.

When it is very light and sunny when I wake up and it is still light in the evening.

People's daily routines shift because it can be 7:30 and still light.

When people are driving around at 7:30 without headlights. That's pushing it in some areas, but I've been seeing it for the past 2 weeks.

My grey car has a nice yellow film thick enough to withstand the afternoon rain showers. Also, I can't breathe. But I love spring, so much

I know it's spring when I can't breathe.

The weather in Texas is so funky, so I don't have any weather cues.

Sudden increase in crime. There's a bit here and there when it's cold, but once it starts to get warm, look out! Hell, there were 4 murders either yesterday or the day before (I can't remember which) in DC alone. Lots of notices about muggings and whatnot on the MPD listserv, too. That's how you know spring has sprung in the District!

That, and leaving the house in the morning with a cardigan and winter coat, but leaving work in a short-sleeved shirt and being comfortable.

Here in Austin Texas during the lunch hour it's 83 degrees with a forcasted high of 90. My husband wants to move back to his home state of Ohio.
