Spring Is In The Air … And The Ground Early signs of spring—which starts today, March 20—were apparent on a sun-drenched afternoon Wednesday in Hailey. In Northridge subdivision, purple crocus bulbs were among the first flora to bloom in the valley. Although spring has officially arrived, cool, cloudy weather is predicted for the weekend, with a chance of rain or snow on Saturday and Sunday. Photo by David N. Seelig
