Perhaps it’s because the season officially makes its debut next week, but for Buffalonians, spring decided to give locals a sneak preview of what’s to come. Drawing us out of our homes and out into the sunshine, the Queen City has seen temperatures so high this week that we had to pinch ourselves to remember that it’s technically still winter! Check out these nine indisputable things that Buffalonians do anytime we see the signs of spring:

1. We swap out our winter boots for sandals and other warm-weather footwear.

2. We open up all the windows in our home to let in that fresh it's-almost-spring air… even if it’s still a little chilly.
