In the Northern Hemisphere, the arrival of the month of March offers the restoration of hope. For many of us, the impending demise of yet another barren, dreary, dull winter season brings a twinkle to our eyes and a bounce into our footsteps! At last, – finally – the return of springtime is almost here!
Those of us who live in the geographic areas north of the Equator know that March delivers a deliberate rise in the amount of daylight enjoyed. Naturally, the sun lasts longer and here in the USA, the time change from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Daylight Savings Time (DST) takes place at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 12. Until then, we continue to “live” in darkness!
Similarly, there is no overnight rise in the outdoors temperatures due to the start of the Spring, 2023, season on March 20! The weather, for the most part, remains in keeping with the daily pattern. Sporadic fluctuations in the thermometer may occur but the variances are based on conditions and not the seasonal transition. Weather is just being…the weather!
For many among us – including yours truly – the first day of March, annually, brings with it the eager anticipation of renewed (renude) cheerfulness – clothes freedom outside – and colour – flowers/foliage – back into our lives! Hopefully, the results appear sooner rather than later!
Rest in peace, winter, 2023! I have been anxious and ready for a massive heat wave since…the last day of summer, 2022!
Naked hugs!

I want to join you in wishing Winter a fair rest…but it’s not done with us PNWers just yet. Just got 11” on the valley floor here – do you love how I just lay that out for you so you don’t even have to try and make it dirty? – last Wednesday…and we’re still living under ta done winter weather watches. Soon though!
