WINTHROP — We don't wait to spot an ice-cream-cone-lickin' tourist to declare spring in these parts, but just for the record, when the North Cascades Highway reopened from its snowbound winter closure on March 10 — the earliest opening ever — the first ice-cream cone was sold less than two hours later at Sheri's Sweet Shop.
Other important harbingers of spring had declared themselves at least two weeks earlier.
