What March feels like

The cherry trees on the UW quad peak in the second half of March and the whole city files through to photograph them. Rain is still the default setting, so people plan around sunbreaks — the local word for the twenty minutes when it stops.

Rain arrives about 11 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
