Welcome to Spring 2019!

Dear WeatherCat observers of the seasons turning,
The concept may seem completely foreign to you when you look out the window, but sometime between this posting and my usual return tomorrow, the Vernal Equinox will occur. Here is a website with local times all over the world:

In keeping with my tradition, I have taken a few photos to set the mood for the new season. Sooner or later, you will staring seeing signs of Spring peeking beyond the cold stillness of Winter:
Of course, old man winter is likely to keep interfering at least for a time. In California that means rain:
Another sign of Spring is the blooming of the Daffodils:
Yet even for Daffodils a little rain must fall:
Nonetheless, eventually the sun will return and Spring will bloom all over your world:
Of course this is the normal course of things and that does not in any way shape of form predict when this will happen!
Until then, grin and bear it!
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

And helps me remember that it WILL turn green here in Maine once again too.
Thank you so much for sharing.

You are certainly most welcome! I understand that for some people it might feel premature. I hope they can look forward even if the weather outside their window is anything but springlike.

My sympathies. I've been trying to keep an eye on the flooding but I'm too overwhelmed locally to keep up. I just found the NOAA report from which your graph comes from:
https://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/2019NHA.html
There is also a real-time map of the United States with all the potential flooding risks:
https://water.weather.gov/ahps/
It does take as much as a few seconds to load. At the moment it is a busy map.
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

Many farmers cannot put in a crop this year. Their grain silos were flooded and farms as well. Livestock is an unknown. BUT FEMA is going to help to some extent, but still over 1200 homes are wiped out in IOwa. Tough times, but some how we will advance forward.
It is tough for those who farm.
