      When the snow is all melted (boy did it melt today) and the temperature remains above 0 C. So by that definition, we had a half-spring day today; it was 10 C!

      And of course, it’s the one day where I didn’t look at the thermometer and wore my big winter coat and nearly died of heatstroke in the process.

        We have Robins that stay all year round. For me spring is when the flowers start to bloom. Only a month to go!

            We never had our 5 year high school reunion. I hope we have our 10 year one this year but I don’t think it will happen 🙁

              I was in school wiht the same kids 2nd grade to the end of my Junior year and then we moved so I graduated from a different High School. Both schools had 10 and 20 year reuinions but next year will be the Silver so I hope they have it just for old time sakes

                When nature decides it’s spring here. We have flocks of robins that stay around all hear here (saw about 10 the other day on my drive to work in a yard… had a flock of 40-50 last year hanging around my next door neighbor’s house for most of a day last January/Feb… crazy!). We also had some flowers blooming early last January (we had dandelions and it was 68 degrees F last January 6th… then we had a huge ice storm and winter set in a week later :roll:). Crocus seem to be a good sign usually, and some of the early trees and shrubs around here that start growing little buds early (pussywillows!).

                The patterns have been a bit more erratic the last 3 years or so than they used to be in the past, so it’s not as clear as it used to be.

                I have always thought about March 22 was the start of Spring

                Ah! You’re rubing it in! 😉
                I always thought it was the first robin also.

                  When it smells right. If you don’t know how spring smells I pity you. Also When the dog starts to have her allergies to the “Snow Blog”. But I do say Happy (Whichever season) on the Calender days. Where I grew up and where I live now have spring usually 2 months or more separate, I like this Spring thing starting in Feb/March and being in full swing by April. Much nicer than waiting until May for a warm wind.

                  It feels like spring here now. It was actually really nice outside today…shorts weather. I hope spring comes fast…my plant pots outside are looking so bare. I need to put plants in them!! They get so big and pretty…now it’s just twigs.

                  My most wanted list: carnelian mouse wizard, copper patina frog wizard, autumn leaf poads, pumpkin spice kitties

                  I live in Quebec. Here, we’re relatively far to the North and the whole month of March is a true Winter month. Spring doesn’t come before April and lasts very short. Here, winters are polar and summers are tropical… 🙁

                  Beltane is spring for me, and when the crocus come up. And when it just smells like spring!

                    Once the Gold Finches start turning yellow. In the winter they’re sorta dingy brown but in spring they turn yellow an the cardinals turn red too. (hasn’t happened yet, but these are from last spring)

                        When my orchid tree stops blooming. It only blooms thru the winter months and my impatients die. They only grow thru the winter as well.
