We've been on the climate change Tilt-A-Whirl this week too. All of our snow had melted, then we got walloped by a winter storm that left us with a foot of fresh snow. Temps are supposed to be 15-20 Celsius early next week which should melt it all again!
🥴 I guess searching for Spring in Canada is a lot like "Finding Neverland." I love the reference and it's one of my favorite movies. IMHO, the best work Johnny Depp ever put on film. 😍
A friend put his shorts on during the first week of April and won't go for long pants until next November. I think he won't go outside if it is really cold. ;-)
This time of year can be so confusing. Even here. I find myself changing clothes three or four times a day to compensate for the temperature changes which can be extreme.
Your area and Wisconsin are a lot alike. They call us the Frozen Tundra. We still have spots of snow here and there and nothing has leafed out yet....sigh...I am ready...anytime now. Happy weekend, Debra! xo Diana
That False Spring season is aggravating! I've been taking blankets off the bed and putting them back on... I'm back up to four currently and it's almost not enough. I won't complain about snow in the mountains though, we desperately need it.
I made some wonderful Canadian friends on my trip overseas and we regularly talk on messenger. The weather is a huge topic for us. I live im melbourne and we are the joke of the rest of Australia for being the place of “ if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes and it will change” city They’re not wrong
LOL! If it makes you feel any better, in SW Texas we have the opposite problem. All our seasons are intermingled with warm to hot temperatures. So during the occasional freeze with icy, the city shuts down. LOL!
LOL, Debra! It's snowing here today. It's sick, but I laughed out loud at the robins in the backyard. I did see a robin a couple of days ago, thankfully alive. These are great!
Here in MIchigan the Dairy Queen (which sells soft-serve ice cream cones from an outdoor window so you can eat it either outdoors or in your car) opens at the beginning of March. So there’s usually at least one snowstorm after it opens. We’re tough too.
Enjoyed these. Here in the uk we are obsessively checking forecasts for possible frost occasional mild at night and hurrying to cover our delicate seedlings or our car windscreens but your weather would stop trains, close schools and bankrupt garden centres!
Right now we are still in final spring/pre-summer here in Texas. We bypassed Pollen/Allergies. Flowers appeared and popped off the trees. Only sneezed once and that was it. We had only one week of real winter. Blazingly fast how it came and went. Didn't even get to use a coat or gloves. Wondering if the seasons are AI.
Ah, yup! That 85 degree stretch made my husband panic. He was juuuusssstttt about to move our tropicals outside to the garden. Dropping to the high 20's for the next week.
I enjoyed the funnies. It's been kinda strange here today [North UK], hot one minute, cold the next but a nice day on the whole. Even had an ice cream.
LOL Debra. These are hilarious. Thanks for the laughs.

ReplyDeleteI'll have the hot tea then...
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Happy weekend!

Hello Debra, The robins one was my favorite today. --Jim
ReplyDelete...we all need to remember that spring is a tug-a-war between winter and summer. The further north we go, winter has the upper hand!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you stand such long winters and a short spring /summer??? The meme For the love of God,MELT ALREADY would sum it up for me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the first one. Never too cold for ice cream. Did you know, lots of Italian ice cream parlours close for winter?!!!
ReplyDeleteSouth Carolina has the Real Seasons, too. We've been Springing for a week, and then Winter will return, and then Springing again!
ReplyDeleteI agree with "The Real Seasons" one. I saw a similar one for here in California.
ReplyDeleteEverything is green here,
ReplyDeleteOMG I feel you!
ReplyDeleteSame here in Chicago. Well, no ice cream during the snowstorm, but yeah.
XOXO
My Canadian sister would start checking her garden in March. In snowboots. By about May she was going mad to plant.
ReplyDelete@ Boud -- No planting of flowers or gardens in Canada until after Victoria Day (May 24) -- that's when the risk of frost is finally gone!
DeleteI saw my first robins yesterday; they were not impressed, and neither am I:)

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what is happening down here: windy and COLD. Again.
ReplyDeleteA friend put his shorts on during the first week of April and won't go for long pants until next November. I think he won't go outside if it is really cold. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis time of year can be so confusing. Even here. I find myself changing clothes three or four times a day to compensate for the temperature changes which can be extreme.
ReplyDeleteAll this sounds like typical Cleveland weather. Of course, we're just across Lake Erie.

ReplyDeleteThe Johnny Depp scene choked me up.
ReplyDeleteWe live just below the BC border- Our so called spring is much like yours without snow. Moment to moment. Tricky.
ReplyDeleteThat False Spring season is aggravating! I've been taking blankets off the bed and putting them back on... I'm back up to four currently and it's almost not enough. I won't complain about snow in the mountains though, we desperately need it.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny. We haven't had snow in Las Vegas where I live in years. We get snow around every 8 years. I've seen it a few times.
ReplyDeleteC’est tellement vrai pour notre météo.
ReplyDeleteIl y a toujours les Bermudes et les Caraïbes. :-)

The flowers are popping up now here but the mornings are cool and on the cold side especially if we get no sun.
ReplyDeleteWhen I complain about the cold temps down here I always think about you sitting there just shaking your head.
ReplyDeleteI eat ice cream no matter what the season or temperature.

ReplyDeleteThese are very good and oh so true for many places.
ReplyDeleteHilarious and benign
ReplyDeleteNothing for me to see here, I'll come back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed these. Here in the uk we are obsessively checking forecasts for possible frost occasional mild at night and hurrying to cover our delicate seedlings or our car windscreens but your weather would stop trains, close schools and bankrupt garden centres!
ReplyDeleteThese are so funny! As a "summer person" I probably couldn't survive...
ReplyDeleteBikini weather? I need to visit Canada!!! LOVED each of these! I was in Canada very briefly once.. and loved the place.
