Watching the Buds

I'm a strict believer in seasonal delineation and meteorological normalcy - in the plainest English, it gets hot and all green-like when spring comes and it don't snow when it ain't supposed to. Winter aficionado as I may be, April marks my metero-political switch to an advocate for warm weather and sunny skies, punctuated only by brief, strong thunderstorms. If you live in the south, spring has already begun. Are you up north, as anxious for blooming and greening as I am? Feed your curiousity at the Greenreport, care of University of Kansas' Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program. The good news is that despite below-average temperatures this year, blooming appears no further behind than last year's.
