“When the Yankees report for spring training.”
“When people start acting nice and happy … and start going out again.”
“Flowers blooming and everything budding.”
“Flowers blooming, birds singing.”

Steve is a d-bag. Anyone in the midwest who roots for the Yankees is a d-bag.
When in college, the best sign to me was when the girls started wearing much less. Now it's when I can run outside again, and when I have to start mowing.

May 15th, the last frost day. Summer begins when the temperature doesn't drop below 80 at night.

I guess when the chipmunks emerge from their burrows it will be spring, finally. I couldn't believe my eyes last week when the squirrel was on our bird feeding station eating peanuts. But that is not a sign of spring. It has to be when the chippers come out. And that will be another month or so. It is still mighty cold here. Brrrrrrrrr.

The Yankees?! The Yankees?!?!?! They won't be able to buy their way to the ALCS or WS this year. ;) Go Sox!

Hate the Yanks and the Sox but when pitchers report it the first sign o' spring. Hope the Royals are better this year, I'll be there on opening day.

A marked increase in collegiate mating calls observed after dusk, downtown (college students, like deer, are crepuscular, after all.)
This elusive species can be easily identified by their loud volume, throaty warbles, such as: "Ahhhhhmmmmmsuuuuuudrunk", "Heeeeeybaaaabeeeyhay" and the ever popular "Wooooooooooo!"
Approach with extreme caution, as this animal is easily startled, especially during mating season, and given to violently defend its territory or prospective mates.
