After traversing this lengthy period of very cold temps and things start to warm back up I think the feeling by most (especially the public) is that we really turned the page on deep winter. Could be the first hint at spring fever for many if we suddenly get a few days in the 40s for example, after such a long period of cold. Days are getting longer.
I'm definitely enjoying these deep winter conditions; the deep snowpack, arctic temps, frequent snow events, etc. I'll def enjoy whatever else ma nature throws at us going forward, but after this long stretch of deep winter I'll definitely start to think more and more about spring, and severe convective events, outside BBQs and the like.
