Typically, they come out of the cold weather slumber ready to shed. You can tell if you can see the eyes, the skin sheds there as well so the eyes will look dull or hazed over. Once they shed, they look for food. After they eat they usually are a lot calmer, not nearly as aggressive.
My wife is kinda the same, the girl wakes up hangry. Lot easier to deal with after she’s fed.
