You must be in the southern part of the state, right? Here in the north, the highs have ranged between 55*F (Sunday) and 75*F or so (yesterday)...
The three surest signs of Spring for me:
1) I sneeze the instant I walk out the door. (Many allergies...)
2) I start the day in long pants and a mid-weight jacket, change to shorts and a t-shirt mid-afternoon, and am wearing thermal underwear at night. (OK, maybe not
that drastic, but you get the picture-- gotta love Northern Ohio...)
3) All the students on campus are suddenly very tan and inappropriately dressed. (It was below freezing Monday night-- WHY did I see students wearing shorts and flip-flops?!) SIGH...

It will be surrounded by cones and barricades and have a huge parked work vehicle. But there won't be any workers around. Usually don't see them till late summer. I guess the spring obstruction is just supposed to get us used to it.

LOL, java!! How is it that they can do all that construction and the roads in Michigan are still sh*t?
BTW-- your post reminded me of funnies a friend once gave me:
here and

And both you and poletree reminded me of this one (edited for space and content):
YOU MIGHT BE FROM OHIO IF...
You measure distance in minutes.
Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
“Toward the lake” means “north” and “toward the river” means “south.”
Down south to you means Kentucky.
You can spell words like Cuyahoga, Olentangy, Bellefontaine, Scioto, Tuscarawas, and Wapakoneta, and you know which letter is doubled in Cincinnati.
You know that the Serpent Mounds were not made by snakes.
You know if other Ohioans are from Southern or Northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths.
You think all Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange!
Your school classes were cancelled because of cold.
Your school classes were cancelled because of heat.
Your school classes were cancelled because of fog.
You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.
You've ever had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day.
You know all the 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, almost Winter, and Construction.
You know all the 4 seasons: Construction, Still Construction, Almost Construction, and Winter.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You carry jumper cables in your car.
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie.
You find -20F a little chilly.
Your snow blower gets stuck on your roof.
