Spring is Here: What Does That Mean to Grafton?

Though it may not feel like the season, the first day of spring is today, March 20.

So, spring is officially here. Now we just need the weather to catch up!

Mother Nature would have been painfully ironic had she dropped a snowstorm on us the first day of spring. Instead, she gave us a break by showing us sunshine on this sunny (albeit frigid) day.

We're pumped for spring, and already have started seeking "signs of spring" pictures in our latest photo contest on Patch.
