Signs of Spring

That’s right folks, despite the abnormally wet and cold winter we’ve experienced in the Carolinas, the signs of spring are all around us! Paying homage to the first day of spring, CoCoRaHS member Stewart Futrell shared these beautiful pictures of the blooming Daffodils and Saucer Magnolia (tulip tree) in his yard. As Stewart has captured here, the signs of spring foretell of the warming weather to come! These photos also are a great reminder to submit condition monitoring reports of your local area. Submitting regular reports of your area is a great way to monitoring local conditions under all types of weather scenarios. With the wet winter we’ve experienced here in the Carolinas, condition monitoring reports help us determine what conditions are like when we receive adequate precipitation, to compare against those periods when precipitation is not as plentiful.  As the flowers continue to bloom and the trees emerge from dormancy, keep those condition monitoring reports coming in. And don’t forget to take some time to enjoy the many signs of spring around us!
