549.0. "The Rites of Spring!" by TROOA::DLOTEN (Semper ubi sub ubi.) Mon Mar 02 1992 15:25

   While some places wait for the first robin, or for an old car to fall
   through the ice on the nearby stream to signify the end of Winter and the
   beginning of Spring, in Sarnia we wait for the first appearance of the Chip
   Trucks (aka French Fries) under the Blue Water Bridge on the beautiful
   banks of the St. Clair River.

   Well...

   Spring is here!  We had our first 'chips' under the bridge on Sunday.

	Ha Ha Ha ... Just goes to show the difference in weather between opposite ends of the province ... while you hit +12 on Sunday ... we in the deepfreeze east end were squeaking -12! Spring still feels like it is still a L O N G way off here in Ottawa!
549.2	Spring's already been here	VAOU02::BOTMAN	Pieter Botman - Vancouver EIS	`Tue Mar 03 1992 14:35`	7
	Spring? Man, we had buds on the cherry trees in the beginning of Feb, and we've been in cherry blossom country from the last two weeks! Pieter

	Yeah, but out in VAO land, you rarely get the weather the rest of the country gets ... so with due respect ... you don't count! Stuart :-)

	Spring has sprung but no doubt short lived. It's a good thing that plants don't have "brains". (Rat hole) My daffodils and tulips think it's spring and are well on their way. I wonder how far they'll get this year! It's been 10+ degrees above normal for the last month. We're all waiting for the other shoe to drop.
