Spring Arrived Yesterday!

If there was a turning point in spring's arrival this year, yesterday was it.  The temperature hit 17°C and it was warm!  The snow just vanished, leaving the white stuff only in snowbanks and hollows.  A few comparison shots for you, all taken less than 24 hours apart, no further comments necessary I don't think.



It was an extreme and surprising 24 hours, and temperatures are back to 10° cooler this week, and down closer to freezing next week, but we will get there.  there are green shoots coming up in the garden too, already.  I think our heron was glad to say good riddance to being an ostrich!

    Take a deep breath of that warm air...it's really great to see the snow melt, isn't it?

    It's spring down here, daffodil buds are up and our earliest crocus (apparently a very old variety that my grandparents had) are in bloom. All of our snow vanished in two days, even the snow in the woods. That doesn't mean that we may not have more snow, but ...

    What a difference. Doesn't take long once the temperature rises and the sun shines.

    Plus 17 C will get rid of snow quickly.

    The UK is apparently in for a sunny spell; daffs and crocuses are out - it is, after all, officially Spring...

    I think the only plus to Winter is it makes us look forward to Spring. Spring is the light at the end of the tunnel, the sunshine after rain, and the blue skies after a storm. Yes, we sure did have a couple of great Spring-like days alright. And after 11:33 a.m. Sunday morning they won't be like Spring days....THEY WILL BE SPRING DAYS:)))))

    If there are shoots in our front garden, it will be quite awhile until they see the sun. But maybe I am being pessimistic.
