Anyone else thinking SPRING ???

[Nuggler]

:-(........Happens every winter.

Bout this time.

More hours of daylight and yet.

And yet.

Darkness comes too early, and it's still cold, and probably colder on into Feb.

This year, DST starts in March sometime, so that's a plus.

Still.........easy to get the blahs and the winter depression.

Sometimes hard to shake it and think positively.

YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!:smilebox:

There, by jeebus, that feels better !!!

Gotta try that in the middle of Zellers sometime. :evil4:

Anyhow, anyone else thinking of boats, and fishin, and canoes, and campin, and the like??

:blob3::toothy4: An little goddam flowers bloomin an stuff?? An cuttin the dam grass, or the grass on the dam??

just wonderin.

Spring ... when a young man's fancies (and even us old guys) an' all that?... Even mud and run-off is warmer than hard frosty lumps. Spring? For now, reality is big slushsicles on frozen struts....

Yes, I have that feeling everyday now, my garden is waiting for me to pay attention to it again, days are getting longer, it is noticeable.
I'm not running the heat so much now, days are milder and more pleasant.
Little things will be sprouting out of the ground very soon, snow drops etc.,
probably is some allready that I haven't noticed.

Yippee

Was gonna say wishful thinking and great imagination ... until I realized you're on Vancouver Island ... where the life of an ice cube is winter....;-)

Yes, we wouldn't want to hear too much complaining from "THAT" part of the country,now, would we.

Is it still in Canada?

As I said to my wife just yesterday, the flowers in our front yard are later than last year...........:lol:

That photo just may have been from last Summer....:lol::roll:

I heard that the subterranean rodent predicted 6 more weeks.

Yeah ... but only a month-and-a-half without him. Ha! here in the Great White North, we don't count Ol' Jack out until at least half-past April....

 

[L Gilbert]

hehe We have places above us that don't lose all their snowy spots. Kokanee glacier, for instance.

 

[darkbeaver]

Someone told me that beer runs out of Kokanee glacier. The blizzard outside today is just the death rattle of old man winter I guess. Spring is just arround the corner and over the hill and accross the great plains and over the sea and----------------

We went on our first hike of 2009 saturday (Minnekhada Park). At the lowest elevation of the hike there was still snow on the ground and the marsh was frozen...but after 2hrs of hiking up the knoll it was green green green. And the views! Amazing.

Maybe you all just need to get out and go for a nature walk or hike to help shake off the ickies of winter...get the blood flowing. It can't hurt.

Course, the dog was right tuckered out and slept the whole way home...but nobody was sore the next day.

In Saskatchewan, out on the Prairies, Spring usually comes in April as the
rain eats away at the snow banks. February and March are usually the time
for some pretty impressive Blizzards once it's warm enough for significant
(more significant....) snowfalls with our famous Prairie wind. I'm not
thinking about spring for a while yet. I am looking forward to a warmer
part of Winter eventually though. :smile:

Juan is that really a picture of this year? It is beautiful today - sunny and 9 degrees (at the airport) so probably a tad warmer in the city. Aside from the usual persimmons, I don't see much around in the way of new blooms. Our snow had been so deep it seemed like it would never go but now we just have the "dirty" piles left over from the effects of shovels.

 

[Cannuck]

I've seem to be noticing my golf clubs more often when I step into the garage.

 

[Spade]

DST? DST! Don't get me started on DST!! :angryfire:Spring:angryfire: ahead, my arse!

Forget the ground hog....

this is surely a sign that spring is just around the corner...

-16 today. Maybe it'll be spring tomorrow.

No, I was trying to be funny. The photo was from last Summer. It's a photo of the front of our house and my wife's flower garden.

Hey. In Nanaimo we are expecting ten degrees tomorrow...With any luck..;-)

 

[lone wolf]

They're calling for 4 degrees with rain here Saturday. Saturday will likely bring -15 with wind and snow. Environment Canada needs to scrap those models and look at some real clouds....
