To Spring or Snow to Bring

It seems to me that Spring never truly happens. They say that spring brings mayflowers and what not but this year I haven't seen anything of the sort. All I seem to be experiencing is more snow and the occasional rain storm (if it can even be called that). Just yesterday it snowed for about 3 hours straight! Geez weather can't you get your bipolar clock right? By the time the grass actually turns green it will be summer. So my question is why have spring at all? We're already skipping from winter to summer, spring happens in name only!
