The snow bank in our driveway is still higher than me. And there will be another snow, sleet and rain forecast coming middle of the week. Spring is just around the corner but I figure it will still feel like winter until April. I have survived 3 seasons so far since I came here in the US. And I am looking forward to Spring so that I could pack and put away all our winter clothes in the cellar because they are eating a lot of space in our closet. I still don't know what spring like, though I have an idea of course. I'm just wondering how you guys cope with winter and what can I look forward to spring since this will be my first spring.

I actually prefer the fall and winter. Spring time means grass cutting time here for me...and my allergies are terrible. Its also very humid here in Mississippi.

I am so ready for spring.. How ever I am just waiting for all the snow to finish falling so that I can enjoy the weather.. I am hoping though when Summer does get here it won't be as hot, but than again isn't that what summer is all about warmth...

This winter has gone on forever here in northern Illinois. When it wasn't snowing, the temperatures dropped below zero, so everyone has spent the last four months in the house. Also the virus/flu seems to have hit our community pretty hard as well. I know we will all feel better when the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. That is what Spring is all about! I'm anxious to get outside and just be able to walk down the street and get some beautiful fresh air. When you have gone through the winter months staring at the four walls, it's nice to know that eventually you can open the windows again. I love surfing on my computer, but enough is enough! LOL

I understand. My in-laws hate winter so much and all I hear is complains about the cold weather.

I like spring. I'm now in Beijing China and it's spring. You can see flowers everywhere, so beautiful! The winter here was frezzing cold an it snowed four times heavily. Now a sand storm is coming.

Really sand storm. I have not experienced that yet. Blizzard or snow storm, I already had enough.

Spring, yeah :) We are just starting to see spring over here, and it is a great feeling. Just like every year, spring represents the beginning of a new life. A new life for the nature and the season to show its most lively colors to us. The life of the leaves are just about the begin. Their colors will be getting older as the months pass, and when autumn comes, they will have completed their life again. Currently, the trees are naked here. There are not any leaves on them but I am sure not long left till we see the most lively colors of the nature :)

NO, I came here at the start of summer so spring was already over. That is why I look forward to it so I will take pictures.

As much as I love the winter I am SO over it this year. I can't wait till Spring is here and I can take my kids outside to play. The winter is great when you can go out and play in the snow but when its just cold out and no snow to play in or its all gross muddy snow I don't like it. Anyway YES I am ready for the Spring to be here.

Snow is so beautiful the first time I saw it. So white and pure. But when plowing started and sanding and salting were done on the road, I think it's yucky. And yes, when it is too cold, it's not fun being out.

Well, we will have another snow,sleet and rain coming middle of the week and the snow back here is still higher than me. I guess we will still have snow all over the place in April.

I am soooo looking forward to spring it's not funny! I've already started putting my winter clothes away because like you I have very little storage space in my apartment. Spring is my favorite season because it's not too hot and not too cold and everything is so beautiful to look at.

Really? Well, this is my first spring so I will be taking a lot of pictures again to see the difference in the changing season.

WOW, you are like my step-daughter, she hates winter, she said it's the most depressing season. She likes summer so she can wear her sexy clothes all the time.

I hate winter with a passion. It has been so miserably cold up here in ND this winter. I'd say go outside only if you absolutely have to, wear lots of clothing and walk slow on the ice. Pay attention to the forecast and stay inside and relax when it's disgusting out. I like spring. All the animals come out of hibernation. The weather is nice. You can walk outside without getting cold. Plus, my birthday is in the springtime. Which isn't always good, because I'm not getting any younger. Still, it's nice to have one day that completely revolves around me, at least that's what I think.

Oh, I can already picture it on my mind. I will surely be out all of the time carrying my camera and take pictures. I was able to take a picture of the deer eating apples from our tree outback last fall, I have a feeling that they will be back this spring.
