The March of Time

They used to say "If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb."  But this March first has the lambs bleating. Does this mean that on March 31st we might have rough weather, notwithstanding what the groundhog indicated? In the northeast we are having a balmy spring. The birds are confused and the New York Botanical Society reports that shrubs are beginning to bloom in February. Do I believe in climate change? You bet I do. And it has snowed in Rome and all the scooters are unable to navigate the streets. The locals here tell me that we should expect more mosquitoes this summer in light of an absence of frosts this winter. I'm looking for that first robin.
