The crocus is a harbinger of spring, but its appearance this week in Phyllis Kerby's lawn at Hur is more likely a mis-statement.

Temperatures yesterday and today are in the 70s, following very temperate weather since Christmas.

Buds are budding, grass is growing and moss is greener than it ought to be. Some Herald readers want to see snow pictures, but they're just gonna have to wait.

The temps are going to drop dramatically for the weekend.
