OP: What hemisphere/continent/state are you on/in?

It's getting quite springy here too -- although we had a couple of inches of snow last night and they salted the roads again.

Southern Canada, it’s lots of clouds, random rain and snow… But it’s getting better every day. Hope to be out Sunday for the first time since October

Wow, the joke in North Dakota is that it's Southern Canada. Yet there's no snow in your photo, while we still have mounds of it.

Looks like I need to move up north for warmer weather

Default Spring....

Spring has arrived in southern Indiana, sunny days in the 50s and 60s... good enough for summer tires but well short of the hot blacktop temperatures we need for some real gripping action. Spring and Corvettes are a real high for us seasonal driving people...I love my Corvette...

Lucky you. I'm in southern Ontario, Toronto specifically, and we've had close to 50 inches so far. Still big mounds of it lying around, including big blocks of ice. Got some snow Monday night, so of course, more salt on the main roads. I am thinking of waking up the vette Thursday.

Amherst Berg Ontario here… We got rain this year but very little snow. All that rain and then quickly getting very cold for a couple weeks did nothing but screw up all the roads. Even my driveway heaved for the first time ever from all the water freezing just under the surface. I’d rather have snow

I've seen pictures of cows needing to be dug out of the snow in South Dakota after that last blizzard. Moving north might be the best option.

We're around normal for the season -- about 90 or so inches.
