If the taxes aren't enough ...

   As I look at the calendar and the two glaciers still over three feet
   high guarding my driveway like palacial lions, I'm wondering if
   something resembling spring will ever arrive. Even though we
   unexpectedly reached 45 degrees today, the normal high is 46 degrees.
   The ten day forecast shows no days reaching normal either.
   March 21 is no longer workable as a definition of spring. Last year we
   saw 70's, even one 80's reading. This year is the opposite. After some
   study, I have some new definitions based on the daily high
   temperatures.
   Spring shall start after 7 consecutive days reaching 41 degrees (25
   C). And we're not there yet, so I'm putting some winter colors at the
   top. I'll change with the seasons, like the old Weatherball.
   Summer starts after 7 consecutive days reaching 59 degrees (35 C).
   Fall starts after 7 consecutive days under 59 degrees and winter
   starts after 7 consecutive days under 41 degrees.
