How long until Spring?

I had a long and funny story about some recent home incidents I had been hoping to post, but today the weather seems to be a more annoying and appropriate topic.  Last week we enjoyed three days of near Spring-like temperatures here in northeastern Indiana.  It was actually in the lower to middle 50's three days in a row in the middle of February.  People were putting on flip-flops and getting pedicures.

Today, however, is a different story.  We woke to a thin layer of ice on our cars and later on the street.  Several kids, my daughter included, slipped and fell on the sidewalk trying to get to the bus stop.  The ice rain started again at about 9:30 am, and it has been coming down since.  As I was headed back in from lunch errands, it was starting to get large enough that the ice balls stung when they hit flesh.

Now, as I look out the window, it has converted to snow which is now coming down quite heavily.  Our local forecast beginning this afternoon and going into tomorrow looks something like this:

TODAY                                        TONIGHT                                     TOMORROW

Icy conditions with periods of freezing rain. High 31F. Winds ENE at 15 to 25 mph. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low 19F. Winds ENE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 2 to 4 inches of snow expected.

Scattered snow showers during the morning. Then partly to mostly cloudy for the afternoon. High 26F. Winds NE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 30%.

The view from my window and this forecast both beg the question:  How long is it until Spring?
