It is said that it will be Spring at 11:26 this afternoon. This strikes me as an odd time to choose. Though it most likely was not chosen but specified by the rotation of the sun, or some other such nonsense hypothesis elucidated by scientist, or would this be more of a geologist job?
What precisely is the purpose and responsibility of a geologists?
With spring suddenly at our doorstep I have my doubts to what Spring truly is. Just 4 days ago we received over a foot of snow! Which is completely ridiculous.
Throughout the winter months, designated specifically for snow, we received none. There were days during those months that the temperatures were so extreme that I had been tempted to wear shorts and had it not been for the odious condition of my legs, I most likely would have.
However now, at the time when shorts and no jackets is upon us, the snow accumulation is ludicrous. When the geologists declare spring time, I expect it to come!
Or perhaps a geologist has no power, just theories.
In that case, he is no better then a philosopher in my eyes.
The abnormal amounts of snow however is no stranger to my ordinary season norms.
It is a prevailing belief in North Western Ontario (my home territory) that our seasons occur as such :
Winter (known to the reset of Canada as [kttroca] Fall/Autumn)
More winter (kttroca Winter)
Still winter and (kttroca Spring)
Construction (kttroca Summer)
So I am accustomed to snow from September to May. However, I had hoped to enjoy some beautifully acclaimed spring weather here before I am to return to further winter conditions. It presently appears however, like I am destined to live a life of winter.
-perhaps I am also destined to marry a snowMan-

Those seasons generally follow suit here in edmonton too...although it's usually because of the cold and not the snow. My dad and I have this theory that winter is not officially over until the may long weekend because somewhere in alberta it snows (and it's usually a dump).
just an FYI about edmonton (although it is no snow belt).
What happens when your snowman melts?
:O
i never thought of that :(
but if i live in the north, i won't have to worry bout that.
Though i bet a snowman is pretty cold hearted . . . not husband material. then again, maybe i WON'T marry a snowman.
Only one foot? A few weeks ago we were literally snowed in. 70 + cm of snow, which drifted against all doors. We could not make the doors open. I don't know how long it will take for this to melt... I concur that spring should not have a specific starting time, but should be like a feeling, coming when it pleases.
