I saw this when I woke up this morning but typically it melted by the afternoon.

Looks nice Met. Like one of the nice LIGHT snowfalls we can have here in Toronto. Interesting you are getting them in April still. You must be having some unusual weather patterns over there right now.

During the week it was a typically warmish weather (10 to 11 C) and dry and wet. It was freezing last night and again tonight. Hopefully my heating will keep me nice and warm.

That's looks like our biggest snowfall this winter...it melted by 9am... oh well, it is getting warmer and everything is blossoming now...and my car is covered in pollen! Now I am ready for summer...

It's our first proper snowfall this winter - bearing in mind that it's well into spring now. My daffodils are all out and my cherry tree is about to burst into blossom.

Wow.... snow.... I remember snow.... Glad it's all melted already, Met!

Ooh, not really the weather one wants to see in April. I'm glad it melted quickly. When I lived in Canada, it wasn't so unusual. Here in Indiana, there isn't much snow ever. Today, I was doing yardwork in a t-shirt, and sweating (mostly because I was hacking away at packed soil with a rake, trying to till it up before spreading grass seed -not fun!) I am excited that the bulbs I planted in the fall are coming up.

Hope you enjoyed the white stuff while it lasted! It's supposed to be consistently in the 50's here this week (12+ C), so I'm excited. The cherry trees outside where Iwork started blooming last week, so I'm pretty happy. I love their scent and they're always my reminder that spring is making a comeback.

My crocus's are in bloom now, and I see signs of my other bulbs, daffodils and tulips coming up. The snow is almost all melted and I am looking forward to the other signs of Spring arriving.

My crocuses are nearly all open, but the daffodils and tulips aren't quite there yet. I didn't plant the daffodils or tulips -they were already there. My problem now is that I can't remember exactly what kinds of bulbs I planted where, back in October, so green things are poking out of the ground, but I won't know what they are until they bloom.

Apparently, today's weather for the country is going to be snowy, rainy and sunny and cold. Wonderful.

Enjoy it Met! There's going to de about 20 C this afterrnoon! I have all the trees in front of my block blossomed! It's a nice view!

It was trying to hail this afternoon as I was putting some rubbish in the cardboard skip at work.

The only weather I want is dry, and mild. Not rainy, sunny, cold, hail, snowing.

We have /had it nice and sunny today with temps at 12c today. I still have 2 snow piles in the South West corners of my font and back yard.

You mean it was warmer in eastern Canada than it was here today??? Geez, spring is never going to come to the northeastern US, is it???

Our backyard is a "work in progress". The former owners didn't take care of it. Other than Chicks & Hens and the Chinese Lanterns...it's lacking in greenery. The "lawn"...and I use that term lightly...definitely needs seeding and a whole lot of TLC. I'll have to see amongst my friends whose perrenials need thinning out...and what I can scavenge from the garden center dumpster at work!

We didn't really have winter this year (so far - as the snow can fall still in April), but last year in February there was a lot of snow

Wouldn't surprises me if it starts snowing next June.

Yes, the weather has become very strange.

We haven't started blooming yet here in the northwest but apparently we here in Grand Forks just dodged a major snowstorm, over the weekend the areas surrounding us got dumped on, some places as much as 23" of snow!

Wow, how long is the snow going to stay? What is the forecast? I wouldn't want it to snow here now. We started already blooming, but the temperatures are between 11C day, and -2C at night. Not too good for the plants.

We actually have a decent forecast! They're saying it will be in the 80s this weekend. Whoo hoo!

It's mild and it can't decide whether to rain proper or not. Stupid weather.

It's amazing what a difference a couple of days of sunshine can do for your garden. The former owners did plant tulips, daffodils & crocuses....it's just the squirrels have had a hayday with them and they're scattered everywhere...but at least they're growing!

I hope the squirrels have not been going for the daffodils. They are poinsonous you know. When you go to replant your bulbs plant them deeper. Squirrels really do not want to put too much effort into digging up things, they usually only dig down an inch or two. If you plant below that depth they should not dig them up. (The big word though is SHOULD not.) We had cold rain all day yeasterday, today looks like it will be mostly sunny. I might get into my garden and cut back a few plants, that I left so the birds could eat the seeds over the winter.

It's been sunny and rainy here and a bit cold but not as cold as March, thank god.
