Term used to describe college towns on the first few days of nice weather in Spring. Primarily used in areas like the midwest and
upper midwest where harsh
winters are followed by glorious spring temperature, eventually. Typically coming in late April or early May, this term is descriptive of all the beautiful things associated with spring in a
college town...flowers...sunshine...birds...rabbits...skirts..especially skirts.
"The only thing getting me through this winter is the thought of
Iowa City in full bloom."
"Umm, it is 70 degrees and sunny for the first time
all year. Should we
head up to the PedMall and see this beautiful town in full bloom?"
