57F here today and sunny. Some plants are already showing young leaf sprouts. And daffodils are about 8" tall.
 
I know it's not in Alberta, we don't even have enough snow to cover the little bit of stubble in the fields. Lots of days above 0 °C , nothing fancy like double digits above or anything, but still way way better then most years.
 
Denver/Boulder metro area, while not the biggest snow ever, was the heaviest 12 hour accumulation in the past 81 years. Near Boulder we got maybe 16 to 18 inches with a lot of wind. Not that cold though: 22 this AM, forecast to be around 16 tomorrow morning. Typical for storms. (mid 40s high/low 20s typical for clear wx around here.)

Regards,

This past Wednesday nearly hit 50*. A few groups of bluebirds showed up to investigate the nest box I put up at work. The camera was maxed out on zoom, as I was unable to get close to the birds.

We are just stuck in a nice pattern of over 30* daytime temps and just below freezing nights. Ice fishing was a no-go this winter, but I'm not complaining. My compost pile is not even frozen.
