Re: welcome to Spring

It is definitely not Spring here in, well not really anywhere, Ontario. We got stuck in the snow in driveway over the weekend. In a truck. A 4x4 truck. For a minute I thought I'd have to fetch the Beetle to pull it out.

It looks grim up north (snow wise!) and is even hovering near freezing down south with patches of snow around. Good practice for Canadian "spring".

Just because people aren't responding doesn't mean we don't appreciate your efforts at cheering us up.

Re: welcome to Spring

Sitting here admiring all the daffodils and crocuses which have been blooming for about the past three weeks. The snowdrops came out at the end of January. We have a real spring here on Vancouver Island. My condolences to all the folks in Alberta - I used to live there. Cheer up, though - spring will come along in about another couple of months and you'll be able to enjoy both days of it.
