There's a red snow alert over the Scottish central belt. Red snow would alarm me too.

Yellow snow alert in the east, but you should always be alert for yellow snow. For once, this yellow snow cannot be blamed on Maximillian.

I thought March 21 was the equinox, hence the start of spring. Over here, the bird called a robin(much larger, more like a thrush) moves to the countryside in the winter, but returns to town in better weather. They returned yesterday. Red wing blackbirds, our earliest returning migrator, came back last week.

I think there are 3 ways of measuring the seasons: ''meteorological'' spring starts on the 1st of March, ''astronomical'' spring starts on the 20th, in line with the equinox. Then there's the 3rd way, and the one which I favour: spring starts when it feels like spring.

That's what's worrying me. It was a b'stard of a drive. Very very glad to be home. Still snowing plus the wind has now got up. Still may try Fri am to give roads a chance to clear a bit.

This is here on Friday ????

Yep, I was born on the last day of winter, only just managed to still be a Piscase.

Schrodie was playing at being Thumper earlier on . " Come on the water's stiff !". He wandered on and played at chasing imaginary things under the ice.

The ice on the pond looks like frosted glass at the moment where the snail pitched yesterday.
