After another long winter in Wisconsin, smart Cheeseheads know to look for the Top Ten signs that Spring has come again to Wisconsin:
10. The long rows of snow fence lining the highways disappear and are replaced by long lines of orange traffic construction barrels .
9. It's 80 degrees out today. Tomorrow, it's going down to 34 again. No big deal.
8. You've brought out your T-shirts and shorts, but don't feel like putting away your heavy coat just yet.
7. By the same token, your patio furniture now shares the front yard with your snow shovels.
6. The glacier-sized piles of dirty snow are gradually receding and reveal dead, brown grass beneath ... not to mention hundreds of frozen dog turds.
5. Migratory birds have returned to the trees outside your house. So have the mosquitoes.
4. You are nearly blinded by the light reflected off of the fish-belly-white legs and arms of your now shorts-wearing neighbors.
3. It's only April, but you're already pestering your building's property manager for news of the pool reopening.
2. Even though I work in a windowless building, I'm actually starting to CARE what the weather is like outside.
And the Number ONE sign that Spring has come again to Wisconsin is (drumroll!):
1. I went and took my Trek Series 7200 mountain bike out of Winter storage. (Can't wait to ride!)
