Well I myself am ready for a early spring, I have even seen some daffodil flowers blooming. I all ways judge spring by the number of red winged black birds I see and hear when I am out fishing in early February and I have been seeing quite a few. I am leaning towards the early spring due to the tell tell signs I am seeing. Does any one else have small sign or signals from mother nature that they use to quesstamate the arrival of a season or weather pattern?
