I will describe what spring is like in Minnesota in a rural area (farm)
When the frost lets loose (unthaws) there are places that you will bury a tractor up to the axle. (not from rain------but from the deep frost unthawing)
Everything turns into a muddy mess. Everyday you move the hay feeders for the cattle to a dry piece of grass sod. By the end of a day or 2, the cows are knee deep in mud already.
Where I live----the frost is not completely gone yet. We will need a good rain to make it muddier to finally get all the frost out so the " healing process" ( drying up) can begin.
I consider warm to be when I can go bareback .
Also, in spring Minnesota puts road restrictions . (this limits the loads trucks can haul on secondary roads due the frost letting out )
I live on a State Hwy where limits are high. Some farmers on secondary tar roads are affected when a semi load of hay, the milk truck, or the feed trucks have a delivery to make.
