> The current temperature here (in a temperate zone) is 60 degrees Fahrenheit..  Trees are blossoming, leaves are budding, grass is green, daffodils, tulips, magnolias, forsythia, etc., have been blooming for almost a month.

> Dandelions bloom in 60 degree weather.  If the weather in Georgia is 65 degrees, and the dandelions have gone to seed, "Spring" has been around for several weeks -- regardless of the calendar date.
