Don't complain, just be thankful you don't have winters like Alaska. Trucks and the Alaskan Railroad are their lifelines and drivers have a saying, "When it's -20 it's a warm day. When it's -40 it's cold. When it's -60 it's DAMN cold." The beauty of the place below the Arctic Circle is a 3 1/2 month growing season and it is the land of the midnight sun... indoors the growing season is year round. https://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.co...ana-in-alaska/

Spring is biting fly season in Maine when they swarm like killer bees, and at the Jersey Shore it lasts all summer when they're joined by mosquitoes. Don't walk through grass or you'll be followed by a cloud of them and people call you Lumpy. In high grass and brush they're joined by leeches and ticks, both jump. When coming home from a walk in such an area with friends you're best advised to strip naked and inspect each other (forget modesty) and clothes inside and out. Spring is pollen season so bad in the Pine Barrens that with a stiff breeze you'd think the forest is on fire. The red VXAmobile was a yellow-green come morning, I had to drive with the windows closed for the first couple of blocks for the pollen to blow off, then open them to let the mosquitoes out. This is the season for cookouts when you enjoy the food, in summer you ARE the food.

Come Friday spring is in retrograde, tomorrow's wind ushers in winter and out the rain finally. <gurgle>
