It's so weird! Very little snow this year and it's colder this week than last week!

I spent the weekend in Manchester, Vt...there was no snow at all and it is much higher in elevation than where I am at.

Cool. I've seen a couple of butterflies. My snowdrops are in bloom, but nothing else yet.
Two feet of snow fell on Sunday just north of us. Happy Spring!

When is spring? With 4 feet of snow around here, it seems a long way off!

Not quite that warm here, but in the 70's for the past few days. Much welcomed after all that cold and snow we had this year.
Yoyo-Jo, I feel your pain!

Spring is here! Just south of the border. Took a wildflower walk the other day on a preserve owned by our local land trust.
Caltha palustris (and Equisetum arvense)
Trillium grandiflorum
Trillium erectum
Erythronium americanum
Hepatica nobilis var. acutiloba
Uvularia grandiflora
I also saw many other things growing but not in bloom and I found this little guy! It is the terrestrial form of our native spotted newt (I think). I'm a botanist, not a herpetologist. These red guys are called "efts" until they change into their adult aquatic stage.

very nice...you seem to be 2 weeks behind me. Zone 3?
I always called them spotted salamanders. I saw some adults mating in the shallows of my pond...the ice couldn't have been off the pond for more than a day or so when I noticed them.
I love Hepatica! The first thing to bloom for me. I believe my Marsh Marigolds are still in bloom as well as the Trillium. I have a few painted trillium around too as well as the red and white ones.
I am fortunate to have all of these growing out in my woods.
Trillium undulatum (Painted Trillium)

Spring arrived here in sunny Bakersfield, CA March 3, at exactly 1:08 PM. It was immediately followed by summer on March 3, at exactly 1:11 PM!
