I'm itching for spring, yes, but I also can't help but notice these recent "Armegeddon" threads that keep popping up. It seems like with each passing year, the first one or two (or more) series of storm systems is forecast to kick out earlier and earlier each year, along with the predictions of impending doom and end-of-the-world outlooks. I know everyone's anxious for storm season to get here, no more than I am. And I'd also like nothing more than for storm season to kick off in February and last through November, but I think it's going to be kind of tough to get a huge outbreak this time of year. No, it's not impossible, it's happened before, but I just hate to see everyone go running off to KY, TN, etc. (spending loads of money) for the first big forecast outbreak of the year, that inevitably, ends up a bust. With that said, yes, I am ready for spring! It was very difficult on my family and myself when we moved from Oklahoma up to Washington, just in the change in latitude and the amount of daylight hours decreasing so much. It was a real challenge back around Christmas, when the sun didn't come up until after 8am and set before 3:30... not to mention with all the cloudy days. Now, we're adding 3 minutes of daylight each day!
