Spring is in the air... or is it?
This may come as a surprise - it certainly does to us - but it looks like Winter is loosening its grip and Spring has come to town. The temperature hasn't dropped below zero (during the day) all this week, the snow is melting at warp speed and birds are chirping like there's no tomorrow. We actually saw the cutest squirrel during our daily walk yesterday. Not that it means anything, I just wanted to mention it. You can view a few pictures by clicking the image at the top.
In fact, we've been having an extremely warm winter so far: the temperature hardly ever dropped below -10°C (14°F). It has been even worse in the European part of Russia. There were even some stories on the news about bears and hedgehogs being unable to hibernate. I kinda like it, actually, when it's warm with lots of snow. It sure beats freezing your butt off in -40°C (-40°F).
Anyway, as shown by the ten-day forecast at Weather.com (which I consult more often than Wunderground because it can be accessed through Trillian), Winter is about to get its act together.
