I just came across this quotation by Thomas Hardy and thought it was rather appropriate for the time of year...
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April Day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off the frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.
Two Tramps in Mud Time (1936)
