What's Up with This?

It's March in Vancouver. Yesterday our cherry tree was beginning to bloom, the daffodils are up and blooming, the Canucks were losing, it must be spring right? Time to start biking to work, play some tennis, a little gardening, spring skiing (at whistler, not Queen E. Park).

Here is the cherry tree now - with the snow in the background. These were taken at 9:00AM. At 6:30 when I got up, it was far more impressive, the melt has already started. The sun is out, clouds are already starting to clear. Maybe later in the day after they have cleared from the north shore mountains I will post some a pictures of the world's most beautiful skyline.

Say - what's it like in Edmonton or Regina today?
