Wow, you are way ahead of us. I find the dead trees with high sun look very strange this year. After three straight months of well below normal temperatures from Jan thru March, everything is behind this year.
I took these pics today and the trees are budding but in photos they still look dead as ever.
Tomorrow I fly down to New Orleans for a week (for work), so I expect some more greenery there.
The max temp today was 73F(22.8C) under clear skies. The long cold winter is fading very fast. Interesting that many were in t-shirts today, but if we had these temps in summer everyone would be wearing a jacket, lol.
I took my dogs down to do some trail hiking today and I was surprised at how much snow has melted in the last week at lower elevations. It's going fast up here, too, but there's still enough of it (134" / 340 cm) that it's not nearly as noticeable.
How is that snow thickness calculated? I'm always amazed at the feet and feet of snow Americans claim they get on a regular basis while on photos there's maybe half a meter of it on the ground. 340 cm and you would be driving in a tunnel. Why not measure and cite the actual depth of the snow?

Those pictures are down on the valley floor. I never claimed there were 340 cm of snow in these photos. I took them to show how little snow is left down there. We have 340 cm up here at 8800 ft elevation, as measured by the official weather station, whether you believe it or not.
I posted photos of the snow along the highway higher than the roof of my truck, and a lot more snow fell after those were taken. I'm not going to search and link them, but they're on here somewhere.

That's true.
It''s uncommon in most of Spain but in warmest areas around the Med. Though they also can be seen in warmest places located inland in valleys at low altitude, such as Guadiana valley in Badajoz, Tajo valley in Cáceres, or Ebro valley in Lleida.
Once you move away to these places it's almost imposible to find bars on windows at street level, because of the slightly cooler summers comparing to these places I've said before, so they don't need open their windows all the time in summer nights.
Vancouver's looking great right now It's been a beautiful sunny weekend (and the warmest of the year so far at 14°C), so I went out and took some pictures today.
Neat pics! Agreed about Vancouver: terrible climate, great setting. Different climates are rather easily accessible. You have mountains nearby if you want a snow fix. Garanteed summer heat isn't as close, but I guess a weekend getaway to the Okanagan is feasible.
Here spring is coming along nicely. Most trees are now green. Path follows a canal.
Further down the canal
Flowering chesnut trees
Even plane trees have leaves now
Some trees are still budding
Some are bare
Others are green
Spring flowerbed with tulips
What is that?
Big wisterias
