Is Spring Ever Coming??

5 days ago was the officially the first day of spring. Not only do we still have snow on the ground, we are still barely above freezing (and have had negatives overnight since the first day too)! I liked when daylight savings came and we got more sunlight at night but now I'm ready for another change to tell me that winter doesn't drag on all year. I live in the midwest so winter is pretty much from the middle of October (or sometimes earlier) to the end of March (so I guess we still have some time). That is almost six months! Does that sound extreme to anyone else? I know the obvious answer is to move out of the midwest, where I will probably never see snow again (and be perfectly happy) but I doubt I could ever convince my husband to move plus we would be leaving behind our amazing house and both of our families. I'm sure everyone is grumbling right now about winter being so long this year when last March we (literally) reached 80 degrees. I just had to get my two cents in too.
