It spun a full second slower last year and has been trending slower for some time.
Finally, the day will be long enough to get something done!

Maybe, but that extra second is like daylight saving time. With all that extra sun my grass grows faster and I have to mow it more often. That ticks me off.

I have a long list of things to do for my Spring Cleaning. When does spring begin this year - April or May?
Try March!

I could never understand the idea behind spring cleaning. Do people really wait till spring to clean their houses? I "maintain," and I do the occasional "deep cleaning" occasionally.
A friend starts upstairs with a leaf blower. If something isn't tied down, it gets blown outside.

I've been using an electric leaf blower for years and years.
In conjunction with a vacuum cleaner.
This way I can blow the dust and dirt from under & behind the frig.
Stove, China cabinet.
Under the couch, the dust from inside the TV, DVD player, cable box.
Inside closets, and on and on.
The first time you do it, there will be lots of dust in the air.
That is what the vacuum is for. Vacuuming up all that dust.
The more you do it this smaller the dust cloud will be.
This way you will have a much cleaner home.
You will see dust you never knew resided in your home.
I started doing this with a corded leaf blower.
I used a extension cord just for inside use so as to not drag a dirty wire around the house.
Battery powered solved that problem.

Tried it. Didn't like it. I'm hoping April will be warm and sunny. 😋

Clever. I would make two suggestions: wear a good respirator; use a shop vac to pull in as much of that dust as possible.
As for seeing dust I've never seen before, that isn't necessary. I see enough dust as it is. I never saw a dust I didn't dislike (apologies to W. C. Fields).
