Why do people say spring is coming earlier than normal?

Question

They only real sign of spring is March 21.

Answer 1

My best thought on it is the next time you catch them doing it you just march right up and demand to know why!

Answer 2

Ah ha ha ha.  Some say global warming is changing the seasons and make winter shorter and summer longer.   i do not find this to be true for one great reason,,,on the calender it reads 4/21/08. On my driveway it reads 20 inches of snow that i have to go shovel right now.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Spring and summer are definitely a time of global warming.

Answer 5
