Hey Peter,
Thanks for that timely morale-booster ....just as I was beginning to
despair. I REALLY hope you have it right. I will keep my ears open for song
sparrows singing and robins a-hopping.

Subject: [NatureNS] The Depths of Winter
Occasionally, in a weather forecast, we see numbers quoted as "the normal
temperatures for today", "the normal high for today", etc. These are
long-term average temperatures for a given reporting station, with quite a
lot of mathematics applied to smooth out the daily variations.
I have a table of these Climate Normals for Shearwater Airport, just outside
Dartmouth. The normal temperatures for today and tomorrow are the low point
of the annual cycle: the normal maximum at Shearwater is about -1 C and the
minimum is -10 C.
Starting Monday, the normals begin their slow climb back up again, and we
are on our way out of the depths of winter. Can Spring be far away?
