When does Spring arrive in your area? (climate, hot, warmest)

[Botev1912]

It's already here, a lot of trees are blooming already. It's gorgeous. This year the trees started to bloom earlier, but usually they start the end of February or beginning of March

When do trees start blooming in your area?

Some 120 miles north of you, we have it much different. There are many days in April and May that Minneapolis and even Brainerd or Grand Rapids is at 70, 80, or 90, and Duluth, because of that damn lake, doesn't get above 40 or 50 (usually accompanied by fog).

I define the arrival of spring as the end of consistent snow cover. That usually comes in the last two weeks of March, or the first (sometimes second) week of April. I'd say an average of April 1.

Trees around here generally bloom in mid-May. It's a very fast process, with the trees sometimes going from buds to leaves in 2 or 3 days. Then we only get two or three weeks with "spring-like" weather and the trees in bloom until summer arrives.

Odd, but that still sounds similar to Toronto.

Highs under 40 F are rare, but not impossible before mid-April.
Highs under 50 F are rare, but not impossible before late-May.

Here in Wyoming we have spring on the 3rd of June from 1pm til 3pm.

It feels like Spring already after we've been tormented with snowstorms and temps well below average, I've lost my sense of "weather-direction" lol. I wore no hat to the mall this afternoon but when we left in the evening the wind blew which kept me in check and I knew it was still Winter lol.

Spring typically starts in early/mid March (or late Feb ), March and April are wild months, they can range from snow to the 70's/80's/90's although if there's that kind of warmth I doubt snow will fall until December.

Highs under 40 F here are rare, but not impossible, in the first week of June. (When they occur around then, the low tends to be only a few degrees lower than the high, and the days are foggy; so a high of 39 and a low of 37).
Highs under 50 F here are rare, but not impossible, into late June.

Ah, so Duluth has an actual "sub-Arctic" vibe,
whereas Toronto can (barely? ) pass for "temperate"...

Btw, by "...but not impossible..."
I meant maybe a 5-10% chance of it being that cold;
not into daily-record territory, but cold enough it's very-bizarre.
Is that what you thought I meant?

In Anchorage, while it is still cold out, you do start to feel some warmth in the sun starting in March.

Spring is already here in Vancouver as well. We've had flowers sprouting since the end of January and the cherry blossoms have been out for a couple of weeks now.
