Well here in Minnesota we are wondering if it is Spring yet. We have been below normal for the temps almost all Spring so far. there have been a couple days of above normal temps but mostly a lot coller than it should be. Plants. trees, and shrubs are slow to bloom and grow etc due to this. Is your spring season normal or way below normal this year? How have the temperatures been for you this Spring so far? I am ready for some warm weather especially in the evenings here in Minnesota. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

In maryland now is above the normal tempetures I think. Just before 3-4 weeks I wore my sweather hoping to get into some hot place. Now 4 weeks later I am sweating and hoping to get in a very very cold place. This global warming is just creazy one day you have a snow and the other you are about to go to the beach. In what I saw this year I would say that the seasons spring and autumn are no more here it's just summer and winter specially in my local area.

I am even thinking about getting the AC units in the wondows. I have to use the fan at night, my upstairs gets stuffy and hot. You wished for snow and cold so much, it doesn't want to leave you. You have to becareful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Hello dear Grandpa Bob. I am happy to tell you that we are in the early of summer now from May 5th. The weather is nice with a temperature of about thirty. I hope the weather stays this way without getting warmer because it will be hot if the temperature goes on increasing. I am just happy with this degree of the temperature. I hope that you will have a wonderful spring weather.

I'm in Southwestern Ontario, in London to be exact, and our weather has been similar to yours, except that we managed to miss out on most of those snowfalls in April. It is true that the plants are having a hard time getting started this year. I'm surprised that the red Maples around me are as far along as they are, but I'm glad of it too. At least there is more green to look at out my living room window. :)

It feels more like Summer here in eastern Ohio. But then again the weather has been going from warm to cold to hot back to warm and back again. We are going to have to put are AC in soon if it keeps being this hot but I would rather it be hot than cold. I can't stand the cold. :)

Well it's spring here in north carolina but with the rain and funny weather off and on I'm not sure what it really is. I use to be able to tell spring was in when the flowers started blooming but they came and went like nothing. Right not this time of the year it would be in the 80's but the weather is barley making it in the upper 70's and that is not normal for this time of year in may. I think that we are in for some ruff summer weather and a lot of storms.

I live in Nebraska and normal spring weather has arrived. It was 78 degrees yesterday and we had storms last night. It is suppose to get up to 65 today and tommorow we are in for storms again. We get alot of storms in the spring time but so far we have been lucky and have not had any really sever ones.

Here in central Canada it's still chilly outside. Three days ago we had light snow but by the next day it was melted thank God. It seems like it wants to warm up and I'm all for that forsure but for some reason, something is holding it back. I'm getting quite annoyed by the cold weather as we've just faced a long winter. I can't wait to see the flowers bloom and the trees get their leaves back. All in all I think that the temperatures have been below normal this year.

Our spring here in Georgia, started very unusually. We had colder temperatures far longer than we should and normally would. But, it looks like we are moving in a positive direction now. Our temperatures have been in the mid-70's to low 80's and that is how it should be. But, we still had freezing temperatures mid to late April and that is not like Georgia at all. At least, not to my memory. Hopefully your weather will start to straighten out soon and you can start enjoying spring soon.

You may well ask! It is supposed to be autumn, nearly winter here. Today is a beautiful 23 degrees. I am not wearing a jumper. Your weather is the opposite to ours, & I guess thats a reflection as to what is happening climate wise, world wide.

Well right now it's nice--- not as warm as I would like it- Next week - high in the 40's on Monday-- then warming back up through the rest of the week- We have had really weird weather so far for Spring. It's been in the 80's and in the 40's.... You start getting used to the warm weather- and then it frosts and is freezing. I wish mother nature would make up her mind!

We've been a bit below normal so far, which is just fine, we can put off those 100ยบ days for as long as possible.

Here in Ohio we've been having some below normal temps, and then some high temps. A couple of nights ago, it went down to 20 degrees. Today it will be almost 80.

I live in Calgary, Alberta and we never really got a spring this year. It rained and rained almost every day. Now it is the middle of July and we still haven't had summer yet. It does nothing but rain and rain. I don't think we are going to get much of a summer this year. It's already half over and we haven't had any real nice weather yet. I mean, we have had the odd day that it was nice out and sunny, but then in the evening we get a thunderstorm. When are we going to get summer?

It has been springlike here in Virginia for awhile,as a matter of fact it will be 85 today. I live in a lake community and will probably swim for the first time today. I view the spring with mixed feelings; it is nice to have warmer weather, but it means it's closer to the endless summer with it's high humidiity and temperatures, yuk! I gre w up in a northerly climate and wish I was back there in the summer. As a matter of fact I wish I was in Minnesota! Count your blessings.
