Conditions continue into spring including early "April" showers. Four days of rain this week brought just under an inch (0.95"). Temperatures swing from 20s to 40s overnight, and 30s to 60s during daylight; a few little flurries that melted quickly to tee-shirt weather. 
More songbirds are coming back, including the first robin of the year. Squirrels and rabbits are still active but all adults for now. The little ones will probably show up soon. Spring flowers are starting to show themselves as well. Crocus are in bloom, daffodils and tulips are growing more every day. Buds on trees and shrubs are getting larger too.
The ski season at the local ski hill (Ski Ward) posted its annual message - thank you for a great season. While the snow base is still pretty thick, it is patchy and continues to melt away. While that season passes the Marathoners are showing up. Partial marathon races are regularly taking place while most days (often in the morning) runners are out and getting into condition. The actual Patriots Day Boston Marathon is just a few weeks away now. Spring has sprung.
