To Welcome In The Spring

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Ah, it’s time to welcome in the spring equinox and this season of spring. We’ve had a run of above-average temperatures here in Southern New England so there’s the fear that we might move from a very mild winter right into summer. But fear not, weather forecasts say more average spring-like weather is on the way.

Nonetheless, it’s time to sit back and enjoy the early spring flowers, the warming earth, the budding trees, and longer days — and to listen to fine folk music to welcome in the spring.
