We’ve said it before, and we may have jumped the gun, because it got cold again. But go look outside! The (decidedly phallic) fountains are back on! So go sit on the steps, go find that Fountain of Youth, that long sought El Dorado of Columbia—contentment.

Next thing you know it’ll be hot and sweaty. Hooray!

Source of genius.

Spring is in the air, and that means…kind of lonely flower arrangements? Hey, anything to brighten up Pupin, we suppose. Photos by CCS.

Bwog’s Morningside Heights Flora Expert Gavin McGown was apparently the only one who was there for the actual blossoming. What he captured is as follows.

Obviously the best thing to do on a beautiful Saturday would be to move your couch onto Low Plaza and/or play an intense game of freeze tag.

Go on, get back in the game. The city streets are calling your pasty cheeks with the reemergence of $3 sunglass stands and 90s denim jackets. Here is INY with your best bets as to how to get it done.

The sun shines on Morningside Heights! (Which means that the line for Mr. Softee runs back to the gates.)

Accuweather never lies! Finish everything you have to do until next Wednesday (which will be 66 and rainy) right now.

Update, 10:35pm: Unrelated, but also good: free cereal, massages and other nice things in Schapiro main lounge right now.

Time to don the shorts and shades – the flowers are out!

In case the weather wasn’t enough to tip you off, here’s another surefire sign that spring is here: lemonade is back at Oren’s!

The benevolent gods of Columbia Facilities have chosen to smile down upon us today, stripping away the last of the tarps on Furnald Lawn and South Lawn. Usually we have to wait until the week before graduation for such a treat. Accuweather predicts a high of 58 today. To the lawns with you all!

A view from Hamilton 7

The tarp is being peeled off the middle lawn! The grass looks green, lovely and artificial. Long time no see, pal.

The sun has set on a beautiful, 70 degree day here in New York. Bwog had a lovely time remembering how wonderful it is here (and below 96th Street!) during the first few days of spring. We k-velled like k-razy when we spotted this yellow flower and sign poking out of an open window on 108th and Riverside.

The lights have officially been cut from the trees on College Walk. Until, December, friends. Here’s to spring!

Speaking of which: Bwog goes on spring break, too. We’ll be posting occasionally for the next week, but expect us back in full swing a week from Monday. Happy travels/sleeps!

Spring is upon us! Yesterday evening’s step-goers were but a foreshadowing of what was to come today–beautiful, fifty-degree weather.

AccuWeather reports a balmy 45 degrees in the big 10027 right now. These two brave souls have the right idea. Party on.
