How many days till Spring?

qualitygal — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 11:34:48 GMT

We were talking here at the house yesterday about the sun, warmth and niceness of the warmer weather. Hours later, my hubs says, we may get freezing rain and lose electricity tomorrow. (Today). But I'm having electricty here now, so so far all is well. At any time though, that could change.

Oh yeah, ice on news reporters windows, and she broke her ice scraper on her windows this morning, so there is a covering of ice out there.

Southwest Michigan. So be forewarned!!!

We've really had a lot of bad weather - every week, there is a snow storm or an ice storm or both.

I don't even remember the last time I saw the sun.

Too many, BUT—- I LOVE where I live most of the year, so if some yucky snow/ice is the price we pay for the pu**y willows in March and the Grosbeaks who show up in April, BRING IT!!!

I am in the opposite corner @qualitygal. I never worry about Spring's timing. it will get here ,in it's own good time

The snow is like gold to the farmers ,and is good for the Great Lakes, so every cloud ,really does have a silver lining f,or us

Too many!

It really has been a pretty mild winter though so far in my little corner of the world.

I'm in southwest Michigan as well, and yeah, we've got about a quarter inch of ice and are supposed to get snow on top of it. I could probably play hockey in my driveway right now, so it's not the funnest of days to be outside. But c'mon, it's winter. We get snow, ice, cold, wind and clouds. That's just what happens.

The first day of spring is a little month than a more away and soon people will be complaining that it's too warm and wishing for cooler weather.

N.E, Pa. here and we're having snow, sleet and freezing rain today, though it started later than expected. We had about a half inch of snow yesterday. Mother Nature's gonna do what she's gonna do whether we like it or not.

Wish spring weather would get here soon!

Kids here in PA have ANOTHER snow/ice day off.

Wish spring brings nicer days and no big snowstorms like last year.

Spring starts five weeks from tomorrow - 36 short days,

daylight savings time starts - March 10, so the days will be longer and more SUNSHINE

I’m in the opposite frame of mind. Spring is to short in Arizona and we only seem to get a few days before 6 months of hot, hot and hotter sets in. Let’s keep winter.

I like the winter. The only thing I don't like about winter is ice. I know it can get negative wind chills at times but I can dress for it. I know when Spring and Summer gets here it will be hot. Last year we went from Winter to Summer. Never felt like Spring.

Another NE PA resident. Snow then sleet or freezing rain. Am cancelling tomorrow morning's Dr. appt. I'd rather error on side of caution. DH and I joke that spring around here is on a day in May between 3 and 3:15.

That's what I'm waiting for - Daylight Savings Time.

We're in the 60s here today.

I'm craving digging in the dirt!

It's all just regular winter weather, same as every year. It is only February. I'm in MA and its actually been a pretty good winter in terms of snow. We have have at least 8 weeks of winter left, perhaps a bit longer.

Spring can't get here fast enough for me! It's funny here I am in NYC, with it snowing and sleeting and QVC wants me to think Spring, which is the furthest thing from my mind!

We've already enjoying longer days in Nebraska. It may snow, but the sun comes out the following day and melts it quickly. My little daily walks are not a frigid with the sunny days. The air even smells like Spring!

My lawn care service has already sent their annual statement for their treatments. Anxious to know what they will charge for each mowing/trimming this year. I'm ready for green grass and flowers.
