Spring, defined

Growing up in GA, I knew spring had arrived when I no longer need to wear a jacket, when I wanted to skip class to be in the sun, and when we could enjoy margaritas outside at Uptown Lounge.

Last Wed. it snowed here in the City. Sat. it was raining & 30 with wind chill.

But yesterday, it was sunny and in the 50s. Seemingly everyone in Manhattan was outside - hanging out in Tompkins Square Park, eating at sidewalk cafes. I used to make fun of all the NYers who start rejoicing over "spring" when I'm still walking around in my North Face and gloves. So even though temps aren't in the 70s here yet, I'm gaining a better appreciation for the small victories (no snow, no gale force winds).
