Have you been tricked by ‘false spring’? Tell us when spring begins for you.
"Ask a New Englander when spring starts, and you're guaranteed to get a different answer!"
The first day of spring is officially March 20, but when does it truly feel like springtime for you?
Temperatures have been mild lately, but NBC10 Boston meteorologist Tevin Wooten said his colleagues are warning him about false spring.
False spring is “an unseasonably warm stretch in late winter or early spring that tricks plants, animals, and even people into thinking winter is over—only for the cold to come roaring back. These unexpected warm spells can be deceiving,” according to weather.com.
Therefore, Wooten asked his colleagues when spring officially begins for them and posted their answers on TikTok.

“I would say false spring happens maybe in like February,” said NBC10 Boston news anchor Latoyia Edwards. “They sucker us with like a day or two but the real spring actually starts June 1st, in my opinion.”
“Spring starts Memorial Day,” said NBC10 Boston news anchor Jeff Saperstone.
Others told Wooten that spring for them begins on Daylight Savings, marathon Monday, and when major league baseball returns.
In his post caption he wrote, “Ask a New Englander when spring starts, and you’re guaranteed to get a different answer!”
