Drivers are warned to be aware of a mob of Galanthus near the intersection of Fort Street and Leighton Road.

Please contain your excitement.  It is dangerous to drive while craning your neck, trying to get a better look.

• Pull into the next available parking spot.
• Walk back to get a good eye full.
• Do your happy dance.
• Then continue on your way to spread the news.

Although this may be an unusually early & large riot, expect to see more popping up around the city in the coming weeks.  Continue to use caution while driving past these harbingers of spring.
