I feel there has been a noticeable shift in the last several years where we are having warmer winters and colder springs. Likely due to the whole greenhouse effect and such, but who knows.

The one good thing about Facebook is it reminds you what happened "on this day" from years past. 3/31 it snowed quite a bit just a few years back... so may as well be April.
I can very distinctly remember moving into our company's new offices that year, we moved on the last Friday in March and it snowed like crazy. Remember having to take out a company car and literally driving over a snowbank to get out out of the lot because it had gotten snowed in the week prior and thinking "it's the middle of April and I'm still driving over snow".
