The weather here in upstate New York has been terrible all year. Constant rain, snow, wind, cold. What's crazy is I'm worried I will catch a cold, maybe a chest cold and think I have the virus. The constant bad weather depresses the hell out of you which can weaken your immune system. The constant bad weather makes sheltering in place much worse, much more depressing.
When spring does finally arrive here it will be the most welcomed spring in my lifetime.

(115,714 posts)but this morning it's down to 24F. But there are goldfinches on my bird feeder, and they've turned their summer bright yellow. Tulips and scilla are poking through the snow. By Saturday it will be in the 60s and the snow will be gone and I will be able to plant some lettuce and dill in my garden.
This, too, shall pass.

But I am looking forward to seeing all the trees in full leaf again, and lots of flowers.
