As you may have noticed from the crazy, unpredictable weather these past few weeks, Spring is among us! So, what exactly does spring in Pennsylvania entail?

• Longer days – Spring means daylight savings time starts back up again! This year, daylight savings time begins March 12. At 2 am, we will set our clocks (or they will automatically be set) forward one hour! This will result in the sun setting later and days lasting longer, and who doesn’t love that?
• Don’t rely on your weather app – spring weather is unpredictable. It will be warm and sunny one day, with a windy, cold day following. There is even still  a chance of snow showers from time to time, and this is not uncommon. One year, we saw snow as late as April! So, if we get a warm streak of temperatures in the 70’s, don’t pack away your long sleeves just yet.
• Everything is colorful again – Once the weather warms up and the sun starts to shine consistently, nature flourishes. Grass becomes green and full again, flowers start to bloom, and leaves on the trees will begin to grow buds.

I think it is safe to say that we are all ready for spring to begin on March 20. Before we know it, it’ll be time for summer break! Just try to keep up the motivation to go to class, even on sunny, warm days.
