Spring IS coming!!!!

MrsLorraine — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 23:03:56 GMT

When I went out to retrieve my newspaper early this morning, I could hear BIRDS SINGING!!! Later this morning, I saw a V of geese flying north. My crocuses are coming up (a month late), rhubarb is arising out of the ground, and I heard someone mowing their lawn!

After what seems like a very long winter, spring is FINALLY in view. It won't be here for about another month but at least I have hope.

Congratulations, MrsLorraine! It must feel really nice to see an approaching end to the long cold months.

Not here it's not, beginning to wonder if it ever will, I'm so over winter! Last night it was 15 degrees and snowing. With the exception of a promise it will hit 40 tomorrow, the next week is supposed to be all about freezing temps and icy rain/snow, yuck! At least the sun is out today, but it's cold. I'm looking at sites for spring decorating and flowers, trying to get inspired.

No one's mowing their lawns around here yet.

We just had snow in nw WA over the weekend. Although,it has been a nice two sunny days.

We're suppose to go down to -22 by morning yet it's going to snow this afternoon first (the polar vortex is so kind) then blow all over the roads for the morning commute.

I've checked the 10 day and we won't get above 15 degrees during the day until after the 5th of March. If then.

It Is???

Tell it to the poor birds shivering on the branches.

I think they came home too soon.

The hummingbirds showed up here a month early, and we've been having more spring than winter, since winter began. It doesn't seem to be easy for them no matter where they go at this time.

PA is still in the midst of a Polar Vortex with a current temp of only 22. We had snow overnight and more snow is expected Thursday and on Saturday and Sunday. We'll have daily high temps of the 20s or low 30s until at least next Thursday. Will spring visit us this year or will we go right into a long, hot summer?

This has been one crazy winter...everywhere. I hate to think part of our country is in such a severe drought. That is dangerous.

The rest can be dealt with.

It's powder dry here in So Cal. I'll take the fine misty rain for days and days. Anything beyond that and we're in for a hard time of a different sort.

Thank you!

You see the accusations I get everyday by the same ones and yet they accept even newer posters than myself. Makes on wonder. They are stalkers and bullies.

Perhaps that is why I felt defensive of PB. She seems very fair. I like her posts...she makes me laugh and doesn't take sides.

We still have a lot of snow but last weekend it was sunny and over 50. There is exposed ground on the south side of the house. There are now snowdrops blooming there. In past years, it was not unusual to see a few in late January.

I agree. My DD saw a robin in her yard 2 days ago. Last night the wind chill was -22. So, that robin is either suicidal by today, or already frozen to a tree branch.

So, OP - spring is NOT on it's way here in Mn.

I wish we could load a few hundred trains full of snow and head them west. Mn. could save the entire state of Ca. We are going to have some major flooding IF it ever melts.
