They say that “spring heads north and fall goes south.” This means that blossoms will bloom, birds will sing and thawing occurs earlier the further south you go in PA. This means that you visit Lancaster County now and you’ll find that spring really has sprung! But, go to northern Wayne County and it is a about a week or more late.
