Sounds absolutely lovely to me bjd!
It is about -10C here this morning but the sun is trying to peek through! Wind is still gusting a bit. My husband is still outside moving all that snow, he did some measuring and it seems we got about 25 cm, so not the 40 they were predicting, that is a good thing. I am hoping our snowshoes are delivered today, the weekend looks quite nice.

Lucky you Bjd, Hope your snow shoes arrived Mich. Here it is shite yet again. More flooding on the way this weekend. Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire have all been devastated recently with floods. I am lucky I live on a hill but travel is very difficult.

We didn't get nice snow. We got rain, freezing rain and wet snow. I'm going to take the BUS for what is only a 10-minute walk. I walked a lot when most of the snow had melted, but am too afraid of falling on this crap. Bright and sunny though; not very cold.

Another wind storm, with 80-90 kph gusts today. There was also some rain this morning but right now the sun is out. We are supposed to get to about 12°.

but am too afraid of falling on this crap. Hope it is a quick melt for your area Lagatta so you can be on your bike soon! Received our snowshoes yesterday, we went for a walk along the shore of the lake today. There is still a lot of snow on the lake so we should have a couple weeks use before the spring. It was enjoyable, I am glad to have found something I can do to keep active during our winter season.

Most of the snow has melted here, but we can still go snowshoeing on Mont-Royal. A friend has two pair of snowshoes. My problem being out in deep cold is it makes me want to pee; no, I've never had accidents but it makes what would otherwise be pleasant exercise and fresh air worrying. It is well above freezing here today. I bought rain boots (short boots, could be called rain shoes) at L'Équipeur, which is Mark's Work Warehouse in the ROC (rest of Canada). Hope they hold up; this is a season of melty stuff. People in the countryside and even some suburbs need higher rain boots.

I have tried snowshoeing a couple of times in the Pyrenees and enjoyed it, as much as I enjoy anything to do with snow. Okay for a few days but not more.
Meanwhile, it is raining again here but at least it's not windy today. 9° at the moment (8am)

No second cup of tea in the morning when planning some time out with the snowshoes! I have tried snowshoeing a couple of times in the Pyrenees and enjoyed it, as much as I enjoy anything to do with snow. Okay for a few days but not more. Snowshoeing in the Pyrenees just sounds wonderful bjd! I enjoy walking but the winter season really slows me down so this is going to keep me active, which I need. A beautiful day today, sunny and the temperature was about 0C. Must be lovely.

We are scheduled for two straight days of rain. I wonder when we will next be complaining about a drought.

Give it a couple of months! I was thinking the same thing this morning as I looked at the rain.

It hasn't rained as much as they promised, but the Seine is reaching flood stage, so the lower quays will be underwater in a day or two. But of course that is the fault of all of those wet places east of Paris.

Pleasant here, supposed to go to 16 or 17° today, sunny with a few clouds, not too windy.

Lovely weather here with temperatures in the high 70F's and nighttime mid to low 60F's.
Sleeping with the balcony doors open awakening to the sound of songbirds making their migratory trek North.

Ahhh, that sounds perfect, even without your mentioning the balmy humidity which I greatly crave right now.
It was 57 at eight o'clock this morning, but is expected to climb to 92 by three o'clock. Even the well-watered plants on my patio are obviously drooping and struggling by early afternoon.

Continued warm days, high 70F's, mid to low 60F nights.
Humid.
We could use some rain.
My seedlings are struggling.

We are supposed to enter a period of nice weather for the next several days, which is unfortunate. People will want to go out more although we are supposed to be totally confined until at least April. It would be better for discipline if it were cold and rainy.

The nice weather has started here. Clear sky, sunshine and 19° forecast for later.

Hot, kind of windy.
My patio faces south, meaning that in the morning the west wall is bathed with sunlight and shortly after noon the east wall gets it. I've been repotting things, but have to do it in the shade and keep the repotted plants shaded until the evening. This time of year here is very harsh on plants. Even some of the succulents are getting sunburned.

Nice enough weather here, but exceptionally dry and temperatures have crept up so it’s warm at night. Because of the high temps and the heavy pollen, we’ve had to start running the AC. We haven’t had rain for at least two months. I’m hoping we’ll get a bit tomorrow. There’s a 40% chance.

You're sure you're not here? That's what it's like here. The itchy-nose pollen thing is going to do me in.

Me, too. Last week I wanted to scratch my face off. Worst pollen season in a long time!

When it gets too bad I wet my nose and don't dry it. That will probably lead to mold or something. Isn't that what Legionnaires' Disease was?

Loads of pollen here from pine and oak trees. I don't know that it causes hay fever but everything outside is yellow.
