``When economic data comes up short of expectations, the pundits like to blame the weather. When the numbers are strong, as with this month's retail sales, do you hear anyone giving credit to the weather? Everyone knows that the weather was springlike in February in most of the US. Temperatures were well above normal. Not to be a spoil sport, but that probably had something to do with the strong sales, and it could represent demand pulled forward from the spring shopping season. Good for February, not so good for March and April.''
