Excerpt from Windfalls of Observation, Gathered for the Edification of the Young and the Solace of Others
Speaking for the State of New York and contiguous vicinities, it is perfectly safe to say that if there were six weeks that could be spared out of the year without doing it any harm, they would be the six weeks beginning on the first Monday in March. They make us a lenten quarantine that we have to keep whether we like it or not. The real, true spring and Mayday are put upon the market in these latitudes at about the same time. Spring threatens sporadically and intermittently as early as the middle of April, but so long as it yields two sprigs of pneumonia to one of arbutus it is hardly worth talking about as spring.
