Wet winter? Pah! It's forgotten already. Now, where did I put my shorts?

This was taken on our balcony (a nice sun trap) weekend before last. The day after it snowed, but not much.

Our winter is showing no sign of going anywhere yet.

For the official first day of spring we had ice pellets to start the day followed by several hours of freezing rain, followed by rain, followed into today by snow and high winds.


Yes we are still very much in winter here in the good old Maritimes.
