But the thaw is near. Clocks spring ahead today, then eleven days till the official beginning of Spring.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts the last snow threat for most of New Jersey and Rockland County ended March 8th. The 14 day forecast says we may have snow midweek! I watch for the bloom of Crocus flowers. After I see the first Crocus we usually get two more snow falls. We have to just ride it out. I’m glad I am not in the business of predicting the weather.
Whether you trust the Old Farmers, Crocus flowers or modern weather forecasts warm weather will arrive, eventually. If it arrives suddenly, with rain while there is snow on the ground we can experience flooding.

Make sure your sump pumps are operational and storm drains are clear so all the spring thaw water goes to a good use, not towards threatening your home.
