Not raining
Air temperature 55 F, thin overcast, wind east about 5 mph. I maintain hopes, probably vain, of a bike ride once the roads dry off.
Arise, ye prisoners of starvation! Arise, ye wretched of the earth!

Thursday floral report
More coltsfoot scattered, forsythia now blooming outside of town. Trees are taking shape from flower and leaf buds, and I see (or wish to see) a faint haze of green on the tamaracks. First actual skunk cabbage leaves. Maybe spring isn't a fraud.
Temperature rose, roads dried off to a minimum degree of dry, got out on the bike. Maybe chipmunk roadkill, but I didn't spot it fast enough for clear ID.
