start planning for spring and summer (and beyond) in jan/feb --> have a much better spring/summer and also something to look forward to in the future instead of endless dread

I'm from Wisconsin and last year we got pummeled with 2 feet of snow on April 15
but, looking at the forecast, it does appear next week is the last week below freezing

welcome!! nov-feb is for planning the rest of the year, catching up on various boring shit, and minimizing harm (don't get injured on the ice, for example). two seasons: on and off!!

THIS winter sucked total ass though

it's more than the weather for me -- the cold season (nov-feb) is accompanied by a slew of holidays that i don't care about/would prefer to ignore and a hibernation period i find stultifying. March-October brings increasing sun, warmth, AND people. that's important to me. i didn't realize how important it was for a long time but it is important to me!!

In the UK, we've just had the wettest February on record; they don't keep wind records but I'd happily bet it's been the windiest, too. The woods are a carnage of fallen trees and the fields are shin-deep in water but the days are heavier with light and the birds are singing so I'll take it.

I was out yesterday evening walking through advanced quagmire in the rain, even grassy areas are so saturated you have to watch your footing on hills. The daffodils are coming up nicely though.

It’s here!! This winter was kind and merciful compared to last year. Not the weather so much (though that too) but circumstances. Proud I’m still in one piece and 100% ready for SPRING!!!

very much November weather here this morning, dense fog and cold. Such low visibility that when I let my dog off the lead he was completely out of sight for five minutes.

This year I’m not as excited about March bc I’m unemployed and this is my deadline for beginning my job search in earnest. The weather is def getting better though.

It was 72 here yesterday, and the trees are budding. Birds everywhere, spring on the wing.

x-posting my blunder:
March is just a slightly less aggro February here. Having to wait until late April/early May to experience spring for a split second before summer sets in is one of the things I hate the most about living in Quebec.

We’ll also be going from 5 to -17°C within less than 24h. How exciting.

Growing up in the Northeast, spring was my least favorite season. I remember it as a slurry of dirty snow, muddy boots, damp mittens and dead yellow grass poking through during thaws. I never understood the appeal of the season til I moved to East Tennessee, where it really does that Bambi thing where everything suddenly flowers in mid-to-late March, we get highs from 65 to 75, and it is just totally gorgeous (if hard on the sinuses).

I woke up, read all your posts about beautiful spring weather, and was consumed with envy because it's been cold and rainy and gray here and I didn't expect it to change for another few weeks. Went out to walk the dog, and it turns out to be the most beautiful sunny spring day, just perfect.
I don't have to work today except for class prep, so I'm going to go for a long walk in the sun and listen to a Springsteen concert from 1977.

It's true – the current forecast says we'll be hitting 7°C on Tuesday and 11°C on Wednesday, which feels like a small miracle right now. Too bad we'll still be stuck at sub zero temperatures this weekend, as I'm supposed to go for a physically distanced walk with some friends.
