So done with winter. The cold, the extra cold, the wind, the little wind when the forecast said calm wind, which I think is supposed to mean no wind; and done with the bigger wind when the forecast said light wind.

Wind has its purposes, especially drying mud, and supposedly mixing up the air to "warm" it; but every wind I feel just makes me feel the wind chill factor.

Tired of hand and foot warmers, too; but not done with them.

The sun helps and is cheering, but it does not stick around enough before that white sky of winter returns.

Done with ever-developing models of where and how much it will snow the next day and the weekend, and forecasts that right up til the night of a storm range from an inch or two to half a foot, for the same zip code. I realize there are many factors, but sometimes weather forecasts are a bit far off the mark for my liking, unless a big storm is predicted and comes to nothing. Those are the best, and way better than the other way around.

Week's positive parting thought: Come on, spring!
