Signs Of Spring

Saying goodbye to one of the coldest, if not the coldest February of 125 years of record keeping at the Buffalo Airport.

There were 9 robins in the Sumac trees this morning. I almost feel over, LOL.

I think there's some light at the end of the tunnel finally...this week the temperature isn't supposed to go below zero in the Western New York area...first time in awhile. Spring will be here in 3 weeks!!

Yes soon...I'm so glad...I'm so glad...I live at the top of a hill....

[G-Man]

Robins don't migrate, they are here year round..never a sign of spring for.me, I wait till I see the 1st buzzards

G-man ...here they congragate around our streams and swamps...Not sure if it's because of the many witch hazel or the wild rose but it's neat seeing them hopping around the branches in the snow.

It all can't come soon enough to suit me. This has been the most disgusting winter that I can ever remember. We have had some pretty ugly winters before, but there were always times of thawing mixed in. Where the hell was our January thaw? ..... lol. For the first time ever, I had to buy a roof-rake to clear the snow off the barn roof. By the way, that job really sucks.

 

Before anyone begins any premature celebrations, keep in mind that March traditionally has at least one doozy of a storm of heavy, wet, sloppy, gloppy snow that can be measured in feet.

 

Two Feet of Snow!!

Here we go again/Snowing like a mad man outside my door.I would like this to just be snow but they are calling for a great amount of Ice.

The sun angle is slowly getting higher. Even when its 20 degrees, the sun actually feels warmer lately. We are finally inching our way into spring this year.

Hopefully it's right

[greensider]

so much for signs it has been sleeting here for the last 2 hours it should be an interesting morning

[Doc]

Looking ahead, I am wondering if this is crazy weather is a sign of another summer garden of cold, rain, and non-germinating seeds and vegetable rot? Will this record-breaking winter of extremes switch back to normalcy, or will the colder trend and excessive precipitation continue right through the summer? We'll have to wait and see.

While tapping maple trees the last two days through knee - waist deep snow, I've noticed the buds are out more than usual. Heard a robin singing Monday when the dun popped out, a sure sign.
