The beginning of March also marks the beginning of meteorological spring. For meteorologists, the four seasons are equally divided so that it makes comparing the weather, year to year easier; so June, July and Aug are the summer months, Sep, Oct and Nov are the autumn months, Dec, Jan and Feb are the winter months, Mar, Apr and May mark Spring.
Astronomical Spring begins with the spring equinox or vernal equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox isn't until the 19th of March.
But either way, I don't think we'll see any flowers blooming here any time soon. Here are some photos of our walk today. The temperature was nice but everything was melting making it difficult to walk on some walkways that were covered with water.

| Our snow bank |
Just so you know the water on the walkway in the first picture is about 6 inches deep. We walked up on the side in the snow until we got past the water.
So I'm not sure it's really spring here but we'll take the warmer weather and the snow melt as it means spring will soon be here.
