With temperatures in many parts of the state feeling almost spring-like Tuesday — Portland hit 59 degrees, breaking a record — it's time to do some weather forecasting. Besides, can't we all use a break from the gloomy coronavirus news? 

This year, spring arrives earlier than in over a century, on Thursday, March 19.

But some Mainers say that's actually the start of a fifth season, known as mud season. Others say there are only four, but the warmish one when schools are on break isn't really summer. It's something else entirely and only lasts about two weeks anyway.

There's no doubt, predicting the elements in Maine is a chancy business. Here's your turn.
