Dear friends, I introduce SPRING in Northwestern Canada. 

One might call our version of Spring 2026 less of a welcome seasonal change and more of a meteorological paradox. 😠

While other (northernish) bloggers tell of snowdrop flowers and actual butterflies, featured here is the (repellent) view through our lower floor window. Yes, that's our backyard (tomato garden box entombed) and yes, that's the peak of a neighbour's home in the distance. 

Although locally quite on brand for this winter, all this flake news has become MORE and MORE and MORE snowtiresome. 

Insert rage sigh here.

  1. You win. You have way more snow than we do. It does get so tiresome this time of year.

    1. I just needed to vent. Also this: it snowed another 10 cm today. Tiresome x 10.

  2. Apparently you guys have escaped the heat dome out west. (You would probably welcome said heat dome right about now!)

    1. Heat dome? At this point, I'd take a heat arch.

  3. Oh, dear - not a pleasant outlook, and people still have to go out and get to work and school . . . 😟

    1. We Canadians are designed to withstand this; I truly have no reason to complain. We need the moisture. Just being a whiner.

  6. We may be having a warm spring in Southwest Missouri, but you don't have Trump as your president. Who really has it better?

    1. Sad but true. I've never known a May without snow. I know you know this struggle too.

  8. OMG! That is awful! You’ve got snow and we’ve got rainstorms here in Hawaii.

    1. Your situation is much much worse. Sorry to hear about what you're enduring.

  9. I felt cold just looking at your photo. Hope things warm up a little for you soon.

  10. We've had our share of snow this winter, too - but much of it melted the last couple of weeks (just in time for more today and tonight). Hopefully you will get a melt, too! I love the term "rage sigh" - nicking that one :)

  11. I wouldn't like to see that view on a daily basis AT. ALL!

  12. Blizzard conditions here today. Temporary I know, but winter2026 just won't go away. Take heart.... spring is just sleeping.

  13. That much snow should be illegal. (I agree with John Hill: you don't have tRump dumping crap every day.) Linda in Kansas

    1. Thank you for saying that Linda in Kansas. Yes, orange crap.

  14. I understand. Although we have less than you, we still have our share. The snowdrops that I posted are in a very sheltered small space.

  15. Growing up in upstate NY, I remember it sometimes snowing in late April/early May. It was so depressing! Now living in Virginia, snow is more of an event than anything. That photo reminds me of growing up in the winter and having to shovel all of that! I hope it warms up soon for you.

  16. OH MY GOODNESS. This is why I no longer live in Erie PA. Snows every year on St. Patty's Day. Like you still snowing. I guess my issue with inches of pollen seem silly to you now don't they? I hope you see tulips and spring soon!!

  17. The only snowdrop here is the snow that dropped two days ago, now frozen so hard that the squirrels, out because of the sun I think, are running across it. Where? Eastern Ontario, the land that the air currents bypass.

  18. Give it time and it will melt. :)

  19. Snow! Yikes. It is lovely, here, although a hail storm passed through yesterday. We are lucky to have the warm Gulf Stream on the West Coast of Scotland because otherwise, we might have snow, too, with Glasgow being at a latitude of 55.8617. I actually read a near future book a while ago, in which the Gulf Stream had stopped circulating and Scotland was plunged into winter. Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan.
