It Has To Be Said

The sun was shining brightly today, and the temperature hit +5C (38F)!! Kill the fatted calf and let the pigeons loose!

I saw a bunch of teenagers walking down the road in hoodies, shorts, and running shoes -- the snow is still three feet deep all around them, but like all Winnipeggers when the temperature goes above freezing, they were really happy.

Of course, we all know from experience that there's probably going to be another couple of big blizzards between now and "real" spring (mid-April), but not even that can dampen the spirits of people who endured -62F just three weeks ago!

The euphoria is getting to me. I think I'd better sit down before I hyperventilate...

Besides, it's really difficult to type when you're jumping up and down.
