Snow mas, Mother Nature!

Ma Nature, we surrender.

And so do a lot of our online readers.

Asked “Will spring ever arrive in the Coeur d’Alene area?” a majority of cdapress.com poll respondents — 346 (57 percent) — voted for “Nope, I really don’t think so.” Another 36 percent, or 216 voters, were only slightly less pessimistic. They said we’ll hit 70 degrees between May 2 and May 15. Only 45 voters (7 percent) think we’ll reach 70 by May 1.

Press polls are not scientific. Readers may vote as often as they wish, but the poll program will count only the first vote from any computer.
