Fake Spring

Three days in a row of spring-like weather with sunshine, melting snow and outdoor temps venturing into the mid-50s.  There is even rain in the forecast.

Hmmm.... 

Sure feels like spring; but I've been to this rodeo before and I am no fool.  We're gonna see a drop in temps, a return to snow and maybe even a blizzard or two with possibilities of such nonsense extending into April.

This ephemeral meteorological phenomenon is what is known as Fake Spring.

For the present what we know for sure is paw prints covering the porch confirm that Mud Season has commenced.  Consequently, a freshly-laundered supply of dog towels are on the rack above the janitor slop sink in the garage.
