How to Prepare for a Warm and Wet Spring

If it's actually going to be a warm and wet spring, that would mean a few different things.

First, it would mean that mosquitoes might come out sooner... sorry. It also means that planting season would hit earlier because of the warm weather.

Second, if it's actually going to be pretty wet this spring, you'll definitely want to do things like making sure your gutters are cleaned out, keep your umbrella handy, and, if you're making spring-time plans that involve being outside, try to have a backup plan to be indoors.
