Yeah! Totally crazy. We are coming from 11° below freezing at daytime/ 18° below freezing at night, half a meter of snow right into temps typical for may.

20° C is a deeply concerning sign of a coming jacket crisis.

Under the desk somewhere, and I can't find the damn thing.
Oh, *that* spring. Up here we don't even start looking for it until the end of April.
The ice storm the other day broke my clothesline and froze four sheets into a two-inch glacier. I look forward to eventually reclaiming them from the tundra like a Siberian mammoth.

What a coincidence! I saw some (eight) cranes today, sorry for the bad quality of my pics, small camera, no tele, had to zoom in until max. Beautiful and magestic birds! I love them and all the old tales, mythology and symbolism attached to them...

69°F and sunny here today. The weather monkeys are guesstimating a high temp of 80°F on Monday.
Sorry.
Sorry.

Tuesday we had snow and ice and freezing temps. Wednesday a warm front started to come in. Today, Thursday, it is sunny and in the low 50s Fahrenheit. Everyone is skipping around and saying that Spring has arrived. (I don’t want to jinx it.)

Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania supposedly emerged from his burrow
last February 2nd and saw his shadow, a harbinger of a long winter.
Meanwhile, Woodstock Willie in Woodstock, Illinois did not see his shadow that day, a harbinger of spring.
The exacta split a bifurcate vote. But word on the street is that Punxsutawney Phil sold out to heavy betting.
Covered his ass on a straight win. Sorry ass mongrel. Willie meanwhile played it straight down the middle, really put his ass on the line. Spring is right around the corner here in Chicago.

I can see it now, end of august & the 21st century summer heat has worn us all down & we'll ask, " Where is the autumn ?" 
The frogs haven't spawned yet so officially for me, spring hasn't been declared, though unofficially, the buds have been bursting & the vegetation has been sprouting since mid-jan, so................

Technically speaking, spring doesn't begin until March 20th so youse folks are jumping the gun a bit.

There were blue skies and a heck of a lot of birds singing when I was shoveling the driveway Wednesday. Sure gave me hope that Spring is on its way. Either way, I've always thought that once February is done being endured and we hit March, we're in the home stretch.
'Round here, Spring is buried somewhere under 2ft of snow. Good news is we're moving into mid-30s to the low 40s in the next couple of days so bye-bye white stuff!
I had one fly by me the other day while in the parking lot of the druggist.Temperatures forecasted close to 20 C this weekend, just heard a flock of cranes flying over my house...spring is near.

Everyone here views 1 March as the day when winter ends “although Spring may not yet have arrived.” Perfect summation of the Viennese way of looking at life.
Currently cool but sunny, which I love, and the days are noticeably longer. I hate it when it is freezing and you leave the house in the dark and come home in the dark. This last week was the first week when it felt safe to wear my trench coat instead of my heavier winter greatcoat.
