I really didn’t expect it to end this way. The last day of winter is Tuesday. So, technically this should be my last blog about My First Winter. Awww, how sad.

BUT winter isn’t really ending…at least not here, not yet. We’ve got a snowstorm moving in and some very un-springlike temperatures in the forecast. How confusing. This week we were right there with the rest of the country with our above-average temperatures. It was as if we were all marching into spring together, hand in hand. But now my people out in California are breaking away and we are being sent back to puffy jackets and wet roads.

Ummm, does that seem fair?

Don’t answer. I suppose I really do deserve a little more winter. It is hard to imagine that I actually wrote my first blog on January 19th, 2007. That’s only 61 days between the start of New York City’s wintry weather and the first day of spring. FYI, the winter season is 88.994 days long (not sure what happens during the 0.006 of a day). You can do the math.

In conclusion, this all comes down to technicalities.

Technically, winter is over Tuesday.
Technically, my blog is about winter.
In reality, the cold weather ain’t going nowhere.

So I guess this isn’t goodbye quite yet. In the interest of accuracy I will however change the title of this blog. Let me think on it. I’m not sure “My First Spring” really has enough pizzazz.
