Nothing is peaking in mid February — not because nothing is out there, but because almost nobody is looking. A typical week in June carries more than a hundred times as many records as this one.

It is the emptiest part of this calendar, and the part where one observation makes the most difference. If the weather has other ideas, the county's unconfirmed records need identifying just as much, and that can be done from a warm room.
