can spring be far behind?

We are halfway between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, which is the scientifically correct way of saying it’s the middle of winter, such as it is in the Northeast.
I used to hope that by the second half of Winter, we could coast to the start of Spring. Given what’s going on in the country, I’d be happy if we could sprint towards the Mid-term elections in 270 days without any major disaster.
