Spring in Boise Starts to Make It’s Appearance in Mid March

There is no arguing things are warming up but winter isn't all the way done yet. So when does spring really start to set in for the Boise area?

According to tsheets.com Spring starts in the Treasure Valley in mid-March. Which is coming up and technically almost there. The forecast is showing that, with temps on the rise. I loved this article, where it talked about how many sunny days we get here! 220 sunny days on average for the Treasure Valley. Although it mentioned:

It’s not uncommon to see temperatures peeking up into the 80s for a few days as early as April

Is that true? 80's in April? That sounds awesome. With temps in the upper 50's by next weekend this is looking to be accurate.
