finally, the time of year when all the annoying “signs of spring” posts go away and everyone can finally admit that it is spring without modifiers, even though “signs of spring” means it IS spring because that’s what spring is. astronomical spring is unremarkable to those of us who observe ecological spring
not sure what term to use here. ecological spring felt right in the moment but there are others that would be better I’m sure
@nathanlovestrees I've seen charts comparing Celtic, astronomical, and meteorological seasons. That doesn't seem like a bad term
@nathanlovestrees (auto-complete wanted to say astrological seasons which is hilarious)
@tfb (a bit of snow in March) looks like spring is in retrograde again!
