Certainly looks like it from where i'm sitting. Looking gorgeous out there. T-shirt weather almost. And that's in Manchester!

We'll not be cold again until September!

Celebrate spring right here right now!

Still a bit chilly here in NYC, alas. But, it's on the way.

The hills east of Manchester are awash with sun. Children play in the streets. Lambs gambol.

it is definitely spring

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 19 March 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

No, Gareth is right - did you all miss the announcement that we were going straight from winter (-9 a couple of weeks ago) to summer this year, and not bothering with spring?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 19 March 2005 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm, one swallow does not a summer make, or something.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 19 March 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

there is no such thing as spring

― charltonlido (gareth), Saturday, 19 March 2005 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Spring happened for about 5 minutes on wednesday morning, it is now summer.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 19 March 2005 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I can tell this as the heating is off and all the windows in the flat are open.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 19 March 2005 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Fucking hell Ed, if I'd known it was that easy, I'd have been coming round to your place, turning the heating off and opening your windows back in October.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 19 March 2005 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

in massachusetts, the two weeks of weather when everyine says 'its almost spring, still a bit chilly' = spring. so i am off to the park with a cup of joe to fight off the post brunch sleepies. i hope i dont drop my lighter in the mud again

― kephm, Saturday, 19 March 2005 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

It's definitely Spring here...azaleas and magnolias are blooming madly from the bushes and our 365-day-a-year allergy festival is at its full-fledged street-stained-green peak. One would think St. Patrick's Day carried over a few more days here...

It ain't spring here. It's sugaring and mud season. Definitely a step in the right direction, though. We'll see leaves on the trees in about 6 weeks - usually about the time the Red Sox lose 7 out of 10 on the road, but this year - who knows?

― jim wentworth (wench), Sunday, 20 March 2005 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Over here, where I'm at, the days are warm and the nights are chilly. Meaning we've actually managed to achieve spring. It's exciting to still feel the need for the heater and a cozy pair of pajamas, but pretty soon I'm going to start noticing the nights getting a bit warmer and warmer and the days needing a little more of the old air conditioner and then, before I know it, we'll have summer on our doorstep and I don't want to let that little brat in.

― Surreal Addiction (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

snow tomorrow, blah

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

well we had two weeks of serious summer, but spring is definitely getting a last word in. today was fucking beautiful.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 19 June 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

same here.

63 degrees and sunny in New York ... and I'm not the least bit horny. Must be the hangover.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

It's still winter in your heart, Morbs.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

can't it be both?

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:27 (twenty years ago)

No, my heart's beating steadily!

February 3, 2006—Fur, wool, or down—don't shed your winter coat anytime soon. That was the Groundhog Day "forecast" given yesterday by Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted six more weeks of winter.

The famous rodent, weather forecaster, and media darling emerged from hibernation in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, yesterday with a little help from Official Groundhog Handler Bill Deeley. Phil saw his shadow—a sure sign, lore holds, that Mother Nature would continue her big chill.

― andy --, Friday, 3 February 2006 20:40 (twenty years ago)

However, the woodchuck in Staten Island did NOT see his shadow. And we've hardly needed our winter coats yet in NY.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

andy, you have to read your post aloud in the voice of brian doyle murray.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:49 (twenty years ago)

except for the two straight weeks in early december of sub-freezing temperatures. how soon they forget!

it's been loopy.. you remember a couple of weeks ago when it went from 35 to 60 degrees F OVERNIGHT?

i think it's unprecedented and i predict horrors even beyond an unhorny dr. morbius

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

tracer, 35-60 and vice versa is pretty much everyday here in arkansas this time of year.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:52 (twenty years ago)

KARK told me we had 35 above average days out of 38 since xmas. its sick. wheres the snow?

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

I think I've worn my winter coat maybe twice this season. This January was one of the 10 warmest on record for Austin with the average high being over 70F.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 3 February 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

Remember early December at my age? Wait -- what's Pazz & Jop again?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 3 February 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

andrew - really?? i don't mean it got down to 35 at night, i mean during the day it was 35, and then the next day it was 60 (actual temps. were 1 degree C - 15 degrees C).. i walked around in a state of aroused astonishment.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 3 February 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

Spring is on the way!

― the pinefox, Saturday, 14 February 2009 16:32 (seventeen years ago)

It's Feb 14th!

Jeez, my town is having a toboggan design/demonstration contest today! Not Spring!

― I shall always respect my elders (Z S), Saturday, 14 February 2009 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

Fair enough. In my town yesterday felt like Spring, and quite lovely; so sweetly encouraging.

― the pinefox, Saturday, 14 February 2009 16:45 (seventeen years ago)

1st daffodil bloomed here on Dec. 31st. (And survived 3-4 nights down to 12˚.)

― WmC, Saturday, 14 February 2009 17:03 (seventeen years ago)

Cleaned out the garden. Pruned and re-routed the wisteria. We live at a public plaza, which was filled with playing kids yesterday. Yay spring!

Is it me or is it Spring? It's Junior Boys degrees out here!

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 11:15 (five years ago)

I spent two days ice skating at -5°C just 1.5 weeks ago and cycled in shorts and a shirt at 18°C last Sunday. It's all good but yay spring!

― willem, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 11:32 (five years ago)

It's Fool's Spring.

― Party With A Jagger Ban (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 11:40 (five years ago)

xp Same (not ice-skating but being out and about in snow boots, to sitting outside in the span of just 10 days)

Fool's Spring or not; I'll take it.

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 11:44 (five years ago)

It's supposed to get into the mid-60s (18 C) here today, which is pretty crazy considering I spent a few grueling hours over the weekend chiseling away at the ice patch that had formed in front of my driveway.

Also, LBI, what are Junior Boys degrees?

― peace, man, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 12:53 (five years ago)

It's that time of the year when, involuntary, songs from Junior Boys (usually from 'Last Exit', like 'Under the Sun') start to creep into my mind, only for me to realise this a couple of minutes in. This is a sure sign of spring, for me personally.

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 13:01 (five years ago)

i heard LDN by Lily Allen yesterday in a shop and i was like, what are you, trying to hurt me here???

― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 13:43 (five years ago)

After a near record streak of temperatures below freezing and several feet of snow, it shot up to the low-40s yesterday, which meant we can now see the roads and sidewalks again, and those huge, heavy 10-foot long icicles and ice-dam sheets poised to kill by sheer force alone have almost all melted. The snow's still here, and will be for I assume weeks, but what a welcome respite that was. Downright springlike.

― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 13:44 (five years ago)

It is not remotely spring but I'm suddenly overcome with memories of swimming in bodies of water.

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre),

Love this. "Under the Sun" is more a sunny autumn song for me, Slowdive's "When The Sun Hits" is my sunny spring jam

― willem, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 15:04 (five years ago)

Oh Slowdive's right up there! :) Junior Boys pretty much take you all the way through, from Fool's Spring to Indian Summer :)

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 18:07 (five years ago)

today i cut the grass.
earliest in the year i have ever done this before.
