Good to Be Back... Now Bring On Spring

Well Hello!

It's been awhile.  Let’s see since I left in December we've had quite an active winter!  I've missed out on forecasting storm... after storm... after storm with heavy rains (we're more than 5" above normal for the year in Boston)... wind (winds gusted to 76mph- hurricane force on the Cape over the weekend) and lots of snow (52" Boston... 68" Worcester and more than 100" - record setting across much of central and northern New England).


Now I'm ready for spring.  Are you?  It's hard to believe with the cold temperatures today that spring is now just 10 days away.  There are signs.  We’re back in Daylight Saving Time, Easter weekend is fast approaching  and we're seeing some river flooding already.  I anticipate there will be more of that on the way in the weeks ahead as all that snow they have in central and northern New England begins to melt.   


I say bring on spring!  I can't wait to get outside with my little ones.  Anyone else have spring fever?


By the way, thanks for the well wishes.  It's good to be back!

Cindy

Good to have you back, Cind-o! ...Loved the photo of the new arrival (whose name escapes me at present) this morning! Caleb is a bit jealous, I take it...from his reported refusal to be in a photo with his younger sibling. Well...he'll get over that.
I don't really have any spring fever, but my six-year-old apparently has strep throat! I'm really just hoping I don't catch it.
Welcome back and congrats like crazy on the new cherub!

Hi Cindy,

Good to see you back on the air and the weather has been awful since you left, Now we are back on daylight saving time and the days are going to get longer by the minute, let me ask this question what do we do with all the snow and the cold weather we have been getting the last several week and are we going to see the spring season with the flowers blooming in the gardening this week or what?

Thank You,

I'm glad to see you are still your old perky self...LOL!!! the beach sands with kids are not far off scintillating Cindy.....:) beach umbrellas an toy plastic shovels an buckets are in order very soon....

Personally I like Maine especially Drakes Island Wells Maine....my wife on the other hand like anything south of the tip of the cape its warmer water....like the board walk of Misquamicut....

A.J. was a good fill in but your site for sore eyes in the morning...:) welcome back Fitzgibbon...now lets get to work..LOL!!!

Kudos and Welcome Back...It is great to have you back...I have always commented to my DILS and friends that you are a wonderful role model for the young women who are trying to balance a career and family...keep up the good work...looking forward to your garden segments...how about gardening with kids? and or ways to adapt gardening for those of us who are gardening in small spaces? Again welcome back...

Hi All...
Not sure just yet if we'll be doing the garden segment again... but I'm already thinking about digging in the dirt in my yard. I find it theraputic for some reason. The ground is a little 'squishy' these days... but at least it's not frozen- in most of metro Boston... elsewhwere it'll happen soon enough. Maybe some more snow later this weekend- watching a POSSIBLE storm for late Sat early Sun- we'll see. For now I'm just going to keep those images of the beaches of Maine and the Cape FisherCat and thoughts of sunny Florida colleenagnes in my mind. Sorry to hear about the strep throat Graham_Cracker... and we'll see how this 'balancing act' goes mjom!
Have a great day all!
Cindy

Nice to see you back, Cindy...you look great!...as usual. :) But I'm quite sure it was nice being home with that new 'little bundle' while you had the time off.

Congrats to you and yours!

Great to see you back, Cindy, and congrats again on the new addition to your family! I think my wife likes your purple coat you wore on the air outside this morning!

Saw some very early sprouting tulip and daffodil buds on the lawn over the weekend, that's a sure sign of spring. I'll take digging up weeds over digging through a foot of snow anyday.

Dear Cindy

It's obvious that you're not a hardened New Englander. Boston snowfall is about 120% of normal to date; hardly a lot. Were you here for the winter of 95-96? ( Boston snowfall, 107 inches! ) This winter pales in comparison. It does not matter that I have not seen even one of your wxcasts, I prefer my meteorologists to be seasonally unbiased and dispassionate. Next winter will be brutal. That's a hope as much as it is a prognostication. With any luck you'll be forecasting for Southern Florida before long. Come on global cooling!

I would love to see a pic of the boys. I remember when we were pregnant at the same time. I had my son on March 10 and I think you had yours a few weeks before me. I am glad to see you back and hope the best for you and your family. Thanks for being such a wonderful person.

Welcome back Cindy. Hopefully spring is right around the corner and you won't have to tell us about any late winter storms like they had last weekend in Ohio.

Hey Cindy Welcome back!
I just wanted to say Congrats on your little one. I've been watching your belly grow on the show along with my own. I was also pregnant with my little girl Ariana, she was stubborn and breech... I was scheduled for a c-sec on Dec 17th but 5 Min before I was rolled into the O.R. she flipped! I was sent home and ended up having her on the 27th she's my angel.
I just wanted to wish you well...Oh and to also tell you that you look FABULOUS! I look forward to watching you in the morning! Have a great weekend!

Yippee, Cindy is back and a welcome sight I might add. You look fabulous, but then you always do. Congrats on your new boy and he is adorable. I have already gone out to my front garden and raked around my crocuses which popped up about a week and a half ago and saw other things popping up as well. I think they might be my daffodils. That is my first sign of Spring and very happy to see it. Keep up the great work and again, Welcome Back!, Shirlgirl from Easton, Ma.
