The first realistic spotting of anything to do with spring! The pussy willows are the first to brave the air. But at the same time, people are still driving their vehicles on still solidly frozen Lake Minnetonka.

A long-awaited escape to Florida and Spring Training. Pictured here are your honorable photographer doing his thing as well as the fruits of the effort.

Watching snow melt is truly a fast-paced spectator sport today. Bright sun and temps approaching 60.

In a sheltered, sun-splashed spot, today's 36 degrees felt almost warm. It actually wasn't much cooler than Tampa. So the snow's still a bit of a problem, but why sweat the small stuff?

Seven degrees and I'm just trying to kill time before Eddie comes in. The gas grill hangs tough.

Unfortunately, no such luck, especially on an unseasonably cold (but sunny!) March 1. I look to the lilacs for the first hint that anything's about to stir.
