I used to live in Ipswich, work in Gloucester. My old boss, who lives in Newbury (I think....where's Gov. Dummer Academy?) says he hasn't seen his front lawn since Thanksgiving!!Originally Posted by SheFly
The town has had about 140" of snow this winter. My neighbors had come from shoveling their roof a 4th time last weekend. Locals are just as sick of it, and there really is nowhere left to put any of it. The fear now is flooding...

I saw my first sign of spring today! A groundhog! I looked out my window and there he was, running around the yard and then digging into some exposed dirt near a tree. If the groundhogs are coming out of hibernation, I can, too (soon).
I was also quite warm yesterday and rained so some of the snow melted. But then it froze. It made me pretty annoyed trying to open the barn door today. I relieved my anger on the ice with a pick, though.

Most certainly not spring here.

High of 15 tomorrow. 9 is possible on Friday.
It's wild to me that folks in Canada can see crocuses right now. But I guess a coast nearby will do wonders...2007 Trek 5000

The Japanese Current keeps us above freezing most of the winter, here.
I can now report that squirrels seem to prefer blue snow crocuses. Those little oinkers have spent the last week digging up my new snow crocuses, eating the bulbs, and spitting out the stems, leaves and buds. I can still see some yellow ones, but have not seen one blue one bloom yet. Wonder what "blue" tastes like..."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

No pictures...but...
The magnolias in front of my office are starting to bloom.
Forsythia (don't know if I spelled that right) are blooming.
A few early cherry trees are starting to bloom.
And the daffodils and crocuses (crocii?) are out.
And, the best sign of spring? DH is starting to get antsy and spend more evenings sitting in the furnace room, looking at his bike, and stressing that the N2 group ride is already getting way too fast for him.

Spring? Where?
The weather forecast for today says snow, the temperature is sub-zero and I encountered snowflakes on my way home from yesterday's ride...
Think orange. Earn success.
