Now more than a week into Spring, we’ve developed a conspiracy theory — Spring doesn’t actually exist in Phoenix.
Here are 10 pieces of evidence that we don’t have a Spring season:
10.) “April Showers” Don’t Exist
Lies.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
9.) “May Flowers” Came in March
So we’ve been teaching lies to Phoenix’s kindergarten students.
8.) “Spring” Training Starts in Winter
Coincidence?
7.) Our Clocks Don’t “Spring Forward” for Daylight Savings Time
How convenient, that we don’t participate in Daylight Savings Time.
6.) Adults Don’t Get Spring Break
This is the case everywhere, which is a shame, but how can we verify Spring exists if we don’t have Spring Break?
5.) Punxsutawney Phil Predicted a Long Winter (on a 70-Degree Day in Phoenix)
Very suspicious.
4.) The Cacti Don’t Look Any Different
Conspiracy.
3.) Was There a Winter?
Maybe we just have two seasons: Kind of Summer, and Very Summer.
2.) Maybe January Was the Real Spring
Did we miss it?
1.) On What Planet Is It Almost 100 Degrees on the First Week of Spring?
Well, technically, this planet.
