I took the studs off several weeks ago and winter is officially over as of a few days ago. It did come back for a last hurrah last evening on my way home from work. There was a brief period of sleet and graupel -- a bit of a surprise, given that it was 44 F / 7 C. I already miss winter, as every snowstorm is an adventure, whereas, in summer, the main variation is how hot it will get. On the other hand, in a few weeks, my commutes will take me past the famous Tidal Basin cherry blossoms.
