First day of spring

If consulting a calendar this might be correct. The first day of spring is on the 20th March in Sweden (in the US too I learned). However true it might be in the calendar reality could best be described as the complete opposite.

My thermometer says 1,5 degr. C and the traces of yesterdays snowfall ARE to be found everywhere. I'm sure you'd find some very surprised and equally disappointed snowdrops underneath there. On top of that the weather man warns for even more snow and icy roads. We have a good six hour drive tomorrow plus one hour ferry in the holiday traffic down to the southern part of Denmark. The island, (on which I was born, album from last summer here), is only accessible by ferry and it does not run very often.

But I won't be bitter. Look, I even posted a nice spring picture although it's completely not equivalent to the truth. Again, I wish you a happy Easter. Go easy on the eggs now.
