So long, fake spring. Winter weather returns to the Puget Sound area this week.

In Seattle, it’s an annual tradition to be tricked by what’s known as “fake spring.”

It’s when the sun — which hasn’t been seen since fall — suddenly reemerges in February or March, and we experience a brief yet pleasant reprieve from the cold, wet, dark of winter. People often see this unexpected shot of balmy weather as a sign that winter is over, but it’s not. That’s fake spring.

And now, fake spring is over. Following a week of dry, warm weather and sunny skies, lows throughout the region are expected to drop into the 20s this week. Steve Reedy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle, said the cold spell is coming down to the Puget Sound from Canada.

“Behind this front, we’ll have an upper-level trough that really deepens over the area,” he said. “That’s going to drag in some cold Canadian air for us, which will trigger those lower temperatures.”

Yesterday I was thinking about the old adage that you plant peas on president's day. lol
