I woke up at 5:00 and one of the first things I did was look out the window. We have a winter storm warning with up to 10 cm (3 inches) of snow expected today. Winter feels like it began in October of 2011 and not October 2012. It has been long. So, “Will Spring please stand up?”
Spring needs assertiveness training.
She hints, and hems and haws,
but the thaws don’t come.
Snow piles high and
a world wonders-
will the real
Spring
please
stand
up?
The continuation of winter here in UK makes me grumpy. Long winter.
It has been long here as well. We had snow in later October and it has been cold. I find some consolation in the global company I am keeping. If we all wish hard enough perhaps it will come quicker.
Gale force winds, snow here in the North and 50 floods at the southern end of the UK! So, yes, please would the real Spring stand up?
Spring is slow coming around the globe in the north this year. I am looking forward to it, but know I am not alone in this wait.
I’d wish for you a quick start to spring but, of course, that means autumn will hit me faster. Oh well, I don’t mind the cold so I’ll wish it for you anyway
In Canada, we think in terms of 10 months of winter and 2 months of poor sleighing.
