Happy West Michigan Spring

Welcome to springtime in West Michigan!

Spring officially started almost three weeks ago, and we've had some nice weather, but winter isn't done yet. I woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow, and a forecast for more. Made this morning's trip down to the exercise room require a bit more willpower than usual.

Today is the home opener for the Whitecaps, our local minor league baseball club. They might get it in, but it'll be pretty miserable in the stands in this weather. I tend not to plan on trips to the ballpark until June or July, myself. While snow is fairly rare, cold and windy is pretty common early on in the season.

This is likely the last gasp for winter. Forecast says that we should see days in the 50-60 degree range next week. Bring it on.
