So before we start complaining about the weather if it is not as mild as we would like it to be, because it's spring. Or it's snowing and we say how dare it snow after all it is spring, we look even further ahead.

In anticipation of what follows spring yes it's summer coming in three months.

First, let's get over this downer, as we look at gas prices which were anticipated to drop below $3 a gallon and they are not there yet, But brace yourself for pricier summer blend fuel. Summer means switching to summer blend usually adding 5 to10 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline. So even though we are 25 cents less per gallon than a year ago, we are gonna lose some of that once the switch to summer blend takes place. The switch to summer blend happens May 1st.

But What Else Happens in Spring
