Spring Starts

Yesterday I saw daisies in the grass so I'll call it spring now. Some people in Britain call it spring when the temperature outside rises to double digits >9°c, others call it spring on the 1st day of March. Some people in Britain call it spring on the equinox; when the days and nights are equal in length on 20th of March, some people call it spring on Easter, others call it spring when daylight saving pulls the clocks back one one hour. I call it spring when I see daisies or dandelions sprouting their flowers in the grass. 

I saw on the news that a snow blizzard is coming to Britain out of the blue on Tuesday  and Wednesday. The funny thing is my smart speaker didn't acknowledge any march snow, it told me no snow is expected in my town on Tuesday. Let's see who is wrong. The smart speaker or the news. Here in Britain we get spurts of snow in the middle of spring sometimes, even after a warm spell.
