I had a pass to get into a free screening of Spider Man 3 tonight, but when my friend showed up early to stand in line he was informed that the passes were not being honored.  Oh well.  I can't say I'm overly surprised, or that I'm overly heartbroken.

Instead I decided to duck out of work and meet another friend for a stroll through the Public Garden.  Technically I left work earlier than I normally do, but since I'd been planning on leaving even earlier to go to the movie, I'll argue that I actually worked late.  It was a beautiful day (with more to follow, if the forecast can be believed).

Normally I'm quite content getting information from experts and revered prognosticators, but I have to say that Phil has let me down this year.  On February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil predicted that there would be an early Spring.  I don't really mind the rain, because it was a dry Winter and we need the water, but the cold temperature is really starting to bug me.  The average temperature for the month is 8.5°F colder than historical temperatures.

Graphically speaking, the chart shows daily High (red lines), Low (blue lines), and Average (green lines) temperatures for the month, with actual temperature as solid lines and the historical "normal" temperature as dashed lines.  For kicks I included precipitation amounts as a bar chart associated with the right-hand Y-axis.

What, to you, is the first sign of spring? Have you seen it yet?
