Well we got snow on Monday night again, just when the last of it melted on Sunday, before that I think it was Jan 3rd when last the grass appeared, good news it is melting again, I saw a cardinal yesterday, always a leading sign of spring

Things are actually starting to bud here. There are a couple of cherry trees in my neighborhood that have started to bloom, along with a crabapple tree or two. The daffodils are popping, and I saw my first thrift (purple ground cover) blooming yesterday on the way home. I LOVE spring here.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's been in the low 70's every day for about 5 days straight now.

Much of the Northeast and Midwest have that combination too.

Anywhere with rolling hills, streams and green green grass gets my vote. And that should cover a lot of area.

Yeah, but with the grid layout and it being densely packed, most NE cities can't compare with almost any SE city on this front.

Pittsburgh is not on a grid system and has lots of wooded hillsides.

Atlanta, hands down.


Atlanta is the prettiest city in the world during springtime!


Atlanta
the city in a forest

Atlanta is awesome with all the pollen accumulating on everything. On a windy night, you can see halos in the streetlights because of all the pollen blowing. When spring is in the air in Atlanta, it's typically yellow in color.
