On February 2, 2024, Groundhog day took place and our favorite furry weather predictor claimed that we would have an early spring. Not too long after this prediction, we experienced warmer weather in the Hudson Valley.

I've noticed Hudson Valley residents spending more time outdoors as soon as the weather got warmer and the sun became brighter.

The first day of spring kicked off on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. With the return of spring in the Hudson Valley, more outdoor activities and events have been starting in our area. 

As the weather continues to warm up, Hudson Valley residents can look forward to some of their favorite businesses reopening as well.

5 Ways To Know It's Spring In The Hudson Valley

I always know that spring has started when I first hear the sound of spring peepers. This may also consist of flowers start to blossom, the greenery throughout mother nature and return of several wildlife critters.

Others may also agree and share their opinions too.

As we are different people, we notice things differently as well. While someone takes an interest in a woodpecker in the tree on a soothing morning, someone else may notice a lawnmower humming noise during their breakfast.

On WRRV, a Facebook post asked local residents to share their opinion.

The question stated:

"Tell me it’s spring in the Hudson Valley without telling me it’s spring in the Hudson Valley, GO!"

Hudson Valley residents were not shy when it came to answering this question. Let's take a look at ways we can notice that it's spring in the Hudson Valley from all age groups and different locations.
