Could it be Spring Already?

For the first time this year, the air has a feel of spring about it. I once described a typical April in a story thus:

‘…the smells of revitalised earth and fresh new growth, the feel of warm, moist air brought in by the south and westerly breezes.’

That’s about how it is today. The polar winds seem finally to have retreated to where they belong. Are bets being taken?
