Can it be...

When my alarm went off this morning at 6:30 it was still dark. But when I stepped outside around 7:20, it wasn't pitch black anymore - it wasn't quite dawn either, but at least it didn't look like midnight. And by the time I was sitting in a traffic jam on M27 at 8:00, the motorway lights went off because it was actually daylight.

Only one conclusion to make. Spring is coming.
