Mostly cloudy here today . High 70° F Low tonight upper 40's F . Possibly rain tomorrow . We might even get a quarter inch of rain Lol 

@tigerlily The 6ft of snow we had piled up everywhere is also nearly melted!

Now we only need a few good rain showers to wash away the salt, and then things will really start moving! LOL

Cold (for us)6C with some sunshine but mostly overcast,  with a north easterly wind ,

But spring has definitely sprung ,daffodils up everywhere. 

Gorgeous sunny, warm day today - 17C in the city. We headed north today, along Lake Huron, so it’s a bit cooler - 15C and still high piles of snow along the roads. Still lots of ice on the lake. February must have been formidable here! I’m seeing robins and red tail hawks by the dozen, but no bald eagles or snowy owls today. My Spanish moss made it through the winter in the garage window. I wondered if this winter might have been too much for it.

Cold day mostly cloudy with some sunshine 6C , still got out for a walk but full of tourists spoiling the walk , 😁

What a difference a day makes! Friday, the harbour was covered in ice; yesterday, just a few floating ice bits. A strong (nearly blew me over on our beach walk) south wind and a high of 19C had a huge impact. I haven’t been down to the harbour yet today, but expect that it will be entirely clear of ice. Watching the cardinals eating the rose hips in our backyard; the blue jays are looking for peanuts. I’ve cleaned out the nesting boxes, so we’ll see if we get any lodgers. The strong winds are bringing a change in the weather - cold again, possibly snow this week.😩 Heading back to the city today.

@tony-h Just beautiful, Tony! No wonder you have so many tourists. I’m tempted to become one of them! Thanks for the video.

It's beautiful all right and full of history ,there are 3 forts from the Napoleonic times in the harbour and we'll worth the visit ,

One of them is Spike Island ,

Beautiful Tony!  I can’t wait to make it to that part of the world. 😊

@tony-h Toasting you and John on this St Patrick’s Day with Writer’s Tears single malt. Slainte mhath!🍀

Beautiful little spot you've got there!

@tigerlily The bird activity exploded over the last week for us, too. Geese are out everywhere, spotted a swan, too. But all the smaller birds are just so active!

@veganostomy 

I was scrolling through new comments at work and just saw “bird” and “exploded”. It warranted going back and reading the whole comment. Haha. 

@squeakyandliza Rightfully so! LOL

Forecast for today is apparently going to be 18C and sunny. I'll believe it when I see it! 😎 

We got 17C today Eric with clear blue skies ,hope ye get the 18C

Beat you, Tony! It reached 22C by dinner time!!! But, we'll be in the negatives over the next few weeks... Spring is such a tease.

In Sydney our seasons are opposite to Northern hemisphere. It's autumn but on the weekend it was 37 C / ~ 100 F and humid. Still bloody hot...

@tony-h  ... wow, Tony, that's some video. There's something 👻 spooky about old prisons that have always left me with a very deep sense of gratitude &  appreciation for freedom.  You may have chuckled watching me watch the video with my magnifying glass in hand reading the ever so tiny print! 

We've had spring like temps but only as high as 16°c.  Our predicted touch of snow turned into several nights of -2°c  to -6°c temps. My bulb flowers survived it beautifully.  I was very pleased with that. I've never been one to dig up bulbs up in fall & stick them back in the ground as I know some do around here. 

We are in lows of under 10°c and to go to -4°c  at night still.  Wind pretty much daily, but I do love seeing the sun. I actually heard a lawnmower & weed whacker going the other day! I'm anxiously waiting to clean out my flower beds but I know the Quail & other small bitds are enjoying the cover of plants & the seeds on many of them, so, they stay a bit longer yet. This is the first year Deer haven't been into the suet feeder! I think I'll be zip tying them shut yearly now.

Wind pretty much daily

Whether I've been more observant, or climate change has really been affecting where I live, but strong wind seems to be a very regular occurrence these days.

I can take the cold, but wind is such a different beast altogether because of how damaging it can be.
