A cold start to March; and a cold start to Spring.
Spring started on 1st March, based on the meteorological calendar. The seasons are
defined as Spring (March, April, May), Summer (June, July, August), Autumn
(September, October, November) and Winter (December, January, February).
It's feeling way too cold to be Spring, with snow falling this morning.

I think I prefer the 20th March for the official beginning of Spring (astronomical calendar)!

Great photos, Kelli. Very clever! That's more snow than we had all Winter too.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, more snow - it seems to have missed us this time. But it does lend itself to great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe only snow here were a sprinkling of pretty flakes drifting down and disappearing.
ReplyDeleteWe are counting the days for Spring's offical arrival, aren't we? However, we know that winter will linger on. It has been very cold, not a lot of snow; much of it h as melted away and more is supposed to be on its way. I am growing weary of being cooped up. Ireland looks very cold, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is the last of the snow for this season and that Spring does come now!
