Around here crocuses, daffodils ,vinca are all about done as are the
flowering cherries. The flowering plum is in full bloom. Unfortunately
today we are getting the worst weather of the year so far 37F/3C rain
and snow mixed :>( ...yuck! I guess that serves me right for laughing at
the people over on the mainland who got dumped on yesterday while we
enjoyed a sunny day. Welcome to spring in the PacNW (US)
Wimp.
Last night the temperature here in Edmonton dipped to -35 Celsius, with a
wind chill of -45 C. For those of you not using SI nomenclature, that's
-31 Fahrenheit, windchill of -49 Fahrenheit. My dogs are *thoroughly*
pissed. After all, it's March -- we're supposed to be seeing strong
sunshine (which we are) and significant melting (which we aren't) by
now. They wanna be sitting on the back porch basking in the sun, and
waiting for me to fire up the barbecue, beer firmly in hand...
**SIGH**
