Too much of a good thing is too much

Is it really just the second day of spring?

The high today was 87 degrees, a new record high for this date.  Today was also the seventh day in a row of temperatures at or above 80 degrees.

It's March people . . . what is going on???

So far this month we have had eight consecutive days of record-setting high temperatures.

This is madness, a new kind of March Madness, and I know I'm not the only one who would still prefer some chill in my nights and a gradual warm-up before the sizzle of summer.

This part of the upper midwest is known for having four distinct seasons.  I hope this year I won't be gypped out of the softness and beauty of spring.
