My tulip bulbs had all just started sprouting and the first leaves were about an inch tall - that was until last night. Now they are covered in at least a foot of snow, so whether they will carry on growing is another matter

Well, so far here its gorgeous. The Environment Canada site now says 19 for tomorrow but 40% chance of snow on Monday and Tuesday. The Weather Network forecast does not include snow any day. So I will go by that one!

And before anyone asks - that is the frame to a trampoline. And the dead patches are where my golden peed all winter. It looks terrible right now but it grows back really quickly.

My dog wouldnt go down the stairs on the deck cos it was too deep at the bottom, poor thing wouldnt have been able to see.

You actually cant see our front porch area cos we're in a culdesac and out house is the little wind tunnel area and have about 4 ft of snow piled up in there, we're always the ones where the snow wont melt on our drive cos its deeper than everyone else, we get everyones share i think :curse:

Lets get it all over with now so that May wll be super nice - thats my theory

It is a-snowing not in Ottawa.

+20C at 7pm - I it! Had the season's first icecream earlier today, and then a cold beer when I got home from work - life doesn't get much better!

I've been in shorts and bare feet since last Thursday and I've already started to tan.

Amazing how quickly all the snow melted.
