Proof that Spring is here

Sellers on craigslist are jacking up the prices on all the bikes they couldn't sell over the winter.

The idiots on our CL never lowered their prices in the first place, Gee I wonder why they still have the same bikes they were trying to sell last summer?

We're forecast for 6-10" of snow by tomorrow night. I'll be XC-skiing this weekend. No spring here.
