Welcome to Spring: The Sequel, with a winter storm blowing into the Northeast to help keep people at a social distance of at least one show shovel. Remember all those times you pleaded for a snow day so you could stay home from school?

Since Daylight Savings Time sprang forward and ruined our Sunday, we know spring is close (10 days). And spring break, or “SPRING BREAK WOOO!” if you’re young, happens this month as well. Try to relax and enjoy the anticipation of spring, warmer weather, and mosquitos.

While guys can’t waste any more time talking about point spreads and commercials for the upcoming Super Bowl (congrats, Kansas City), they can now waste time talking about the game and the commercials. Look at those talks not as a waste of time but as a bonding experience.

Last week the Northeast got all the weather and this week it’s the Northwest’s turn. Prepare for heavy rains and flooding in lower elevations and ice and snow higher up, all pushed around by high winds. But don’t worry, Northwest people, the weather in Miami for the Super Bowl will be just fine.

The CES 2020 show flooded our attention spans last week with interesting new products and updates to a slew of existing smart home systems. And some silly stuff, as usual, like the Charmin RollBot toilet paper delivery drone.

Welcome back, physically and maybe mentally, from the Thanksgiving break. If you’re reading this in a snowed-in airport, good luck to you. Since the holiday was so late in November, we have only three and a half weeks before Christmas.

We’re sliding into the holidays now since next week is Thanksgiving, with Christmas just four weeks later. The week before Thanksgiving can be relaxed as things slow down or crammed full to get ahead for the coming days off work.

Does your Monday feel better since you started it an hour later? Did the earlier daylight help perk you up? Earlier light is always better, at least according to Daylight Savings Time fans. We can’t wait to cash in our saved daylight in February, which always needs to be brightened up.

It’s the countdown to Halloween that will come knocking on your door this Thursday. Weather forecast: frightful in some places, with snow in the Midwest over to the Great Lakes and rain up the entire eastern coast. And, of course, wildfires in California.
