You should be feeling "Haru Ichiban" (First winds of spring) about now or in a short while. I remember those winds well while living in Kanagawa-ken. They would come every year in early to mid March like clockwork. Once Haru Ichiban arrived you knew winter was over and warmer days were near. It was a welcome sign even though it was quite difficult to ride the bicycle on some days!
