That was a quick spring.
One damn nice day, - granted Saturday was just superb - and we're right back into the weather doldrums.
Most of this week is going to be cold, at least by my standards. Highs will struggle to break into the high 50s or maybe low 60s. And there is no warmup in sight.
Hey, it could be worse.
You could be living in Green Bay. They're still dealing with the Midwest's endless winter. A freak spring blizzard dumped more than 20 inches of snow on the region over the weekend with temperatures in the 20s and 30s.
There is, however, one sure sign that spring and summer is on the way.
Anyone else notice what is going on with gas prices?
I go past two Wawa on West Chester Pike on my way into the office each day.
I had to do a double-take this morning when I noticed the sign reading $2.95 a gallon.
According to the website GasBuddy.com, average retail prices jumped 5.5 cents a gallon in the past week, with the average price now $2.90 a gallon.
That means you're paying 27 cents more for a gallon of gas than you did this time last year, and 19 cents more than just a month ago.
Nationally, GasBuddy says prices have spiked 17 cents a gallon in the last month, 30 cents a gallon higher than a year ago.
I guess it could be worse. Back in 2014 we were paying $3.51 a gallon.
Then again, Memorial Day and the official start of the summer driving season is still more than a month away.
