Snowed here and the UK apparently. Shut everything down too. No buses running businesses closed etc etc.Flurries of snow have settled but I bet it's light compared to places where it snows more frequently. I guess the ability to prepare for things like this comes with more frequent experience of it.Didn't get into town so not sure tow hat extent it has affected things there but here supermarkets are closing at 3pm & npot due to open til 1pm tomorrow.

I mysteriously lost an hour this morning getting ready for work
I SWEAR when i shut off my alarm it was 7. Did my usual approx one hour getting ready routine without further consulting clock. Looked at phone for first time and it was 9. Was supposed to be on a call with EU Supply Chain at 9.30
hell yes it's march

my mom's birthday is at the end of march -- this is historically the only thing i look forward to in the entire monthaside from it being over
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 30 March 2018 13:26 (four years ago) link
it's almost time!!!!
march will get off to a booming start for me this year -- i'm going on a trip!! i think i am going to begin conceiving of Nov-Feb as a quarantined period of the year and the rest of the year will not suffer from its many assorted unpleasantries.

i like it not being dark when i get home from work.
but the march weather in vancouver is usually bad. often doesn't really feel like spring, more like the end of winter. first time i was ever in vancouver - march 2012 - it snowed
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 20:51 (four years ago) link
it IS the end of winter but it is the END OF WINTERthat is why i celebrate march
it marks the beginning of the good times, which last 8 months to the bad times' 4

too soon
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
yeah we don't really have that kind of seasonality. starts raining in september, stops at the end of june. coldest december to february, can be sunny in april, may, june.
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
it's more than the weather for me -- the cold season (nov-feb) is accompanied by a slew of holidays that i don't care about/would prefer to ignore and a hibernation period i find stultifying. March-October brings increasing sun, warmth, AND people. that's important to me. i didn't realize how important it was for a long time but it is important to me!!

Mexico City!! El D.F.!!
I feel it will get the worthwhile portion of the year off to a solid start. I'm really starting to divide my year differently so I can make the most of the good times and minimize the harm of the bad times. New plan.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 21:07 (four years ago) link
start planning for spring and summer (and beyond) in jan/feb --> have a much better spring/summer and also something to look forward to in the future instead of endless dread

I'm from Wisconsin and last year we got pummeled with 2 feet of snow on April 15
but, looking at the forecast, it does appear next week is the last week below freezing

welcome!! nov-feb is for planning the rest of the year, catching up on various boring shit, and minimizing harm (don't get injured on the ice, for example). two seasons: on and off!!

In the UK, we've just had the wettest February on record; they don't keep wind records but I'd happily bet it's been the windiest, too. The woods are a carnage of fallen trees and the fields are shin-deep in water but the days are heavier with light and the birds are singing so I'll take it.

I was out yesterday evening walking through advanced quagmire in the rain, even grassy areas are so saturated you have to watch your footing on hills. The daffodils are coming up nicely though.
