I'm on the east coast of Canada... it's melted down to about 4 ft drifts, instead of the 10.. but the snow is a solid mass.. there's no getting through it with a shovel... as for flooding, I don't think it'll be a problem unless it all melts at once, which I don't see happening..  We still have sub zero temperatures.. which really sucks for April... so even though the ground isn't frozen anymore, and the sun is out more, it's still too cold for the snow to melt, especially in places where it's drifted..

The last 2 days in the UK have been warm and sunny, yay! Only for this week tho, we won't get too excited (but that's ok as I'm off to Barcelona next week and it's forecast nice there!)

We had a lot of rain yesterday, when brought the snow down enough that we can see the garbage bin that's been buried since January.. Mom still can't get it out, though... It's supposed to be warmer through the week, so I'm hoping that will help with melting and drying..

Spring has finally arrived in London.
... It is still cold, but at least there is some sunshine  ...

A lot of sunshine this way.
The garden is growing madly  :flower; :flower; :flower;
and we actually could do with a spot of rain as getting very dry (sorry)  :o

I feel heaps better when the sun shines.

Back down below 40* F here in DC, but nice clear Sunny day and might get back into the 60*.  I'm appreciative that we missed all that snow you more northerly people received.

Gentle spring rain today, which is a relief to both clear the dust and pollen from the air and water the garden! :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

I'm still waiting for the warm temperatures to show up.  I told a friend on Friday, who is the host of several internet radio programs, and lives near Syracuse, NY, to quit bragging about the absolutely beautiful weather they've been getting there, while we are still waiting to warm up.

In Jersey we seem to have skipped spring and went from winter to summer. It's going to be 90 Tuesday.

Not uncommon for the east coast. I grew up in Philly. In the SF Bay Area, you can't figure out what season it is half the time. I have worn shorts in January and a heavy sweater in August (and to be clear, this is the Northern hemisphere). We had a really warm April (or maybe March) and now it's back to wearing long sleeves and a fleece jacket. In fact, the weather is very comfortable, but you always need to be prepared for a sudden drop in temperature.
