Serena Blake 14066 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, winter is almost OVER :) I wouldn't pack away the shovels and boots yet though we may still have more slush come from the sky, but it is 13 days away from spring As I sit here looking at the sunny day on the other side of the window (in Fredericton) I can't help but daydream about nice long walks with sookie. Trees budding, flowers blooming and birds chirping. I can't wait for shorts, trips to the beach and skate park with my son. Anyone else have a bubbling excitement for the end of the season? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Fantasy 144625 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 YES! But to be honest, the first day of spring, I am flying away to Japan, so I am WAY more lucky than most Canadians... The weather for the next two days in Japan 25C on Sunday, 1C on Monday >.> Is it spring yet? summer dresses and sandal wedges? Summer cocktails and fresh food? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yabut 1460 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 On my walk today it was so nice to see the water running knowing that the snow was melting. Thinking the tulip festivale is not to far away and the snow will be gone so I can start riding my bike 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boomer 33202 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 I arrived in Sydney last night and the forecast is for 27 today. Be home in two weeks, so I guess it's timed just about right. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baileydog 9367 Report post Posted March 16, 2013 I hope spring arrives early ... I drove down the east coast of the USA over the last month and stayed in Florida for a week ... but, today was the first day where the daytime high got above 20 deg C ... I was between Panama City FL and Mobil AL ... as I head to New Orleans and then into TX, I hope it stays warm for a while Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
