A La Nina March, aka, Dry and Warm

Because of the la nina, our fall, winter, and spring have been very mild. March is typically the snowiest month of the year in Colorado. Not this time. In fact, we did not have single snow "storm" this month! Sure, there were flakes on occasion, but nothing to write home about. As I write this, the high today is predicted to be 73 degrees. It has been very windy this month, but that is typical of spring. The majority of trees in COS are still gray, but buds are on all of them. There is one type of tree that has actual leaves on them, but that is it. Grass is starting to turn green, the iris plant has shoots popping up, measuring about 4-5 inches high. Spring is definitely here!

On a different note, I am not suffering at all with seasonal allergies thanks to the allergy immunizations I've been taking for the past 9 months. Woo hoo!
