This may be news to some—are you sitting down? It is spring. Yup, meteorological spring—a function of organizing the seasons into three-month pie-slices—begins on March 1 and runs through May 31. Meteorological spring, according to NOAA (yes, NOAA is still out there),is the buffer between the three coldest and three warmest months of the year. Yes, spring is sandwiched between winter and summer.
(On the other hand, we still have roughly three weeks until astronomical spring, which begins on the equinox on March 20th.)
