    the magnolias are in full flower meaning the first day of spring in Cornwall today.
    So, the snow will keep away and the temperatures will be springlike
    So pleased the winter is over :snorky:

      I'll wait for the 21st of March , things are perking up a touch by then around here. Rarely get snow here I think this is due to the gulf stream coming up the Leeds and Liverpool canal :snorky:

        True, but that's the Meteorological Spring, Verdun:dunno: I prefer the Astronomical Season where Spring Equinox is 20 March, which seems more pessimistic but more realistic.:heehee:
