First Day of Spring by bkbinthecity

First Day of Spring

Today is the first day of spring. It was just above freezing which helped melt some of this snow we have. Unfortunately there is a winter storm watch in effect with a forcast of about 10 centimeters or about 4 inches. Spring time in Alberta.
I took these as I left work today. From left to right is the gate into the Edmonton Cemetery which I cut through to get to the bus stop. The road in the cemetery and then a shot of some of the headstones in the cemetery
Oh dear. Think spring. We are expecting snow tonight also although hopefully not as much as that.

Lol! It looks like our Spring is similar to yours-- but it's coming. Just makes us appreciate it all the more when it finally does arrive :)
March 21st, 2013  
Your spring looks similar to mine; I don't have snow but the low is 15F tonight with flurries in the air!
March 21st, 2013  
So tired of this cold weather!
March 21st, 2013  
You must have very good shoes to go stomping through this snow!
March 21st, 2013  
Wishing you warmer weather soon. Beautiful snow shots.
March 21st, 2013  
Looks cold but spring will come! Beautiful collage!

There is a lot of snow yet. It looks like the sunshine has a lot of work left to do.
March 21st, 2013  
great shots!! hopefully that snow clears up soon and you get some nice spring weather!! :)
March 21st, 2013  
Great shots
March 21st, 2013  
Sorry to see that you still have snow. It can't last much longer. No wonder you are liking all my flower shots!
March 21st, 2013  
Your first day of spring looks worse than our first day. Great chilly looking collage. It's cold here, too, but no snow. We did have some flurries, though. We might get snow overnight.
March 21st, 2013  
And I was unhappy it was chilly! Looks very cold there!
March 21st, 2013  
Neat triptych! Happy Spring!
March 21st, 2013  
Looks like it will take a while for that snow to melt.
March 21st, 2013  
Oh my... I feel for you... Hopefully the snow will melt soon.
March 21st, 2013  
Oh no! Spring in Canada is cold! I know you saw my spring shot! What a difference.
March 21st, 2013  
Sure looks like spring to me!! How nice that you can take photos as you go to work. Nicely put together.
March 21st, 2013  
snow snow go away! nice collage!
March 21st, 2013  
Nice collage! Our tempretures are also steadily rising and yesterday the snow melted on the roofs for about two hours. This year we've got a large amount of snow out of doors.
March 21st, 2013  
Wonderful collage Brian. Yup that is some serious snow. We got some as well but not that much. Very cold here though. Waiting for Spring... (Tapping toes impatiently) :) stay warm!
March 21st, 2013

March 21st, 2013  
Great collage Brian.

Nice collage. Yep, we're getting snow this spring as well! :(

Nice collage...our spring keeps coming and going...next week it may stay, but then I am back to work!
March 21st, 2013  
I love snowy pictures like these. I expect to see some snow later today. Doubt whether it will look as nice as this. Katharine
March 21st, 2013

March 21st, 2013  
Not much sign of Spring here in the UK either.

The snow is beautiful, but my condolences.
March 21st, 2013

March 21st, 2013
