March 2026 - Winter or Spring?

Also, here is the latest look at the local (small) lake in my neighborhood. Completely dried up with cracking ground. 70% of the state of Florida now under an extreme drought and water shortage advisories/warnings issued in each of the 5 water management districts. Need some rain badly!

I'm afraid this kind of stuff will be making major headlines this summer for GA and the Carolinas. AL and Tenn and west will be in better shape. I can see this summer being a repeat of 1986 or maybe 1993 for many of us. Maybe 1988 too, but that is much less likely.

This is the way. This is much needed. Quicker the neighborhood pools open the better for @Heelyes

Crazy town here. I have never seen the lawns already green and growing this early; EVER. Onions and dandelions growing, hydrangeas leafing out, cherries and redbuds coming out, Bradford pears already turning green, pollen. GSP average low for today is 39; haven't been below 50 since 3/4 and below 40 since 2/24. Everytime I think we can't possibly have an even warmer Feb/March they prove me wrong. I really do have a FL climate now.

It's greening up fast here, but I don't think I can say that we're where we were in late March last year (which had bright green plants everywhere) and what you're describing sounds like what we had in late March.

Granted I guess at this rate we're probably going to be 2 weeks ahead of last year by mid-month.
