You did say "40 days"?!! You can see how ignorant I am about conditions elsewhere (and I'm always up for being amazed...), but I guess it was a typo, you mean 140 days?! We're about 135 days, frost-to-frost, at least, in the old stable weather years. Cynthia: Wow. You did say “40 days”?!!

And there you are, most likely with more snow as I write this. We have a 40 day growing period here in the mountains (Jackson, Wyoming). Your site has inspired me! Thank you for the blog.

But it is good, because we had dry winter. We here in middle Europe have freaky weather :-) On Thursday and Friday it snowed, even if it was not freezing, and today it is raining all day.

We don't get snow that deep nowadays here in London (England not Ontario!). Although we used to when I was growing up. Is your veggie planting season very short there? how do they cope with the snow?

It's so great that you can look back and see where you've been. Do you purposely take pictures at the same places? Awesome. PS - Thanks for the extra long, longest comment ever. I shall try to reply.

The second day of Spring in Minnesota brings flurries and predictions of 3 - 7 inches. Nothing that will last too long, of course, since as you say, the sun is growing in strength...and there's a bit of rain in the forecast. But I'm getting tired now, of "weathering winter"...time to get on with it. A soup day for sure! I am so with you!

I'm trying not to feel down about the snow we're predicted to get here, and it does help to think that it could be gone as quickly as it comes. And after all, it's an excuse to extend my cocoa-drinking! I like your optimism.
