Almost the same here. Light Snowfall last night and now it's drizzling
It's a balmy minus 14 degrees here which is a big relief. Glad that extreme cold temperature warning is finally over.
Correction - it is minus 20 with the wind chill which is still better than minus 40!
I have heared that arctic vortex is moving towards Canada. Stay safe and warm.
We have light snowfall and 2°C/36°F

This is a cute little video and no, it is not plus one here today!
It's actually minus 13 but at least there appears to be no wind chill
Do you feel sorry for Manitoba Merv?

Kids are inside, playing xBox February in Alabama is when the sun plays peekaboo. We get a few days of cold and rain and then the sun comes out for two days where we have a faux spring. The cycle repeats. I think we will definitely have an early spring this year. How much more of winter does Germany usually get?

Spidey, I can't remember if you said you planted flowers or had any natural plant life blooming around your house. The apple tree and Bradford Pear Trees are showing their frothy blooms at the moment. It's going to rain later and the white confetti will stick to the car windows and cover the ground. So far, just the daffodils have popped open. My favorite time is end of March and beginning of April when the wild dogwoods are brightening the woods.

Last year spring arrived in March, in 2016 it arrived in May. It's possible that we get some snow in march or even april.
I remember an easter when i was a kid. On sunday we had sunshine and 25°C/77°F and we went to the zoo. On monday we had snow and 30°F...more or less

After years of covering, uncovering, re covering- I gave up. Lost my tangerines and wisteria in that big freeze a few years back. Just couldn't keep up. Now all native. The pines are in pure pollen mode. Everything is covered in yellow dust. Seeing some new growth on the oaks. Flowers are out-- the coon population seems to think they are theirs and pull every bloom up. Veggie gardens are in dog run chain link fences with roof!!

Do you feed your raccoons? I know it's not a good idea but I feed them sometimes. How can you deny those cute little hands and faces? On summer nights I can sit in the dark on the deck and they will come up to me and eat the cornbread I leave for them because they can't see very well. It's only when I cough or make a noise that they scatter back to the shed. It's funny when they run on two legs with food scooped into heir arms like burglars. LOL

LOL After I moved to this local in F, first visit down, my parents brought me seeds for the wisteria, mimosa, ear tree, red maple and a small NJ cedar- oh a holly bush too. The red maples still lives and the cedar is a giant/ holly doing ok/ mimosas and ear trees have spring up all around-- thank you birds. Tried a dogwood/ couldn't take the frost. I do have several gardenia plants, now growing wild and un attended/ same with a Magnolia. And way back in the woods, wild blackberries.

Their fragrance is heavenly. I trimmed my gardenia bush a few weeks ago and I'm hoping the blooms will double this year instead of waiting another year. I have wild blackberries, too. Do you eat them? I'm sure you have to be cautious of snakes. I have never heard of a NJ cedar. We have cedars here but I don't know what kind they are. I have a friend who owns horses and lots of land and his white multi-gabled house sits at the end of a dirt road lined with cedar trees.
