[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 584208, member: 14557"] It's that also to us. But it is still spring. First, you actually see the sun (we had 50 hours of sun all together this year from start of December to end of February.) When you see it, it's actually above the tree line, not behind them. Sun actually warms and you notice it. It isn't dark when you go to work at 8 or 9 a.m. and it isn't yet dark when you leave at 4 p.m. Birds start to sing. First swans and seagulls come back. There are willow catkins. Birch buds start to get little bigger and if you take birch twigs inside and put them to water buds open. And more than anything it is bright again! :bigsmile: It is all comparative. If we would only consider it spring, when official spring comes (daily middle temperature goes above freezing) or heaven forbids, still we have first flowers or tulips are coming up or waiting apple trees to flower etc. we would live a winter till mid April, well into May or early June. And our spring would consistent about five days just before we would be at mid summer in 21th of June :winking: For us at the north it is all about light. [/QUOTE]
