Late March:
Winter’s not ready to let go yet, and we can expect colder temperatures, with nights dipping below freezing and daytime highs slightly above it. We will also get a few more snowfalls and freezing rain are likely, especially from southern Ontario winds. Animals like deer are mostly sticking to the woods, birds are cautious, and the tree buds are swelling , but not yet opening.
Early April:
The cold lingers, but signs of spring start to show. Nights will still dip below freezing, and daytime highs will struggle to get above freezing, but the warmer air from the south will slowly push in. Squirrels and birds will be more active, but the earth is still too cold for full growth. Snow will be less frequent, but don’t expect to much of a warm-up just yet.
Mid-April:
Spring will finally take hold by mid-April. Snow will be gone, though frost may still linger in shady areas. By then, you’ll also start seeing buds open on the trees and the first green in the fields. The warmth will begin to win out, with milder days, but expect some cool nights.
So a mix of patience and watching nature will guide you through this spring transition.
Until the next time, keep your minds open and your stories alive. GW
