The arrival of early spring weather

Watch the show and join the conversation on theIntersection website.

Spring is officially upon us, and for many in the country it arrived early this year. We get some possible explanations for the record high temperatures in March. You'll also hear how the early spring could benefit farmers, consumers and even the insect population.
