When Winter Wends Its Way...

When winter wends its way at last

To sleep in pasture-lands of Past

When morning is a teddy-bear

With honey-sparkles in its hair

Then we will say, giddy and glad

That winter was not all that bad

When winter wends its way to where

It cannot reach from here to there

But fades into far yonder blue

Then earth, a brown and tattered shoe

Is polished by the silver strain

Of melting snow and pelting rain

When winter wends its way into

The book of Bygone, then we-two

So lark-happy in heart and soul

Will take a leisure country-stroll

To marvel how, where white had been

Earth’s easy-chair is velvet-green

When winter wends its way to bed

Too tired out to spout its dread

Then soon wild hyacinth will spill

To dot the plot of nook and hill

And every brook, set free, will sing

When winter wends its way…to spring

Yesterday they (the weather-people;) fore-casted our Spring Outlook...

Tuesday, March 3, 2015, 8:21 PM - 

Most Canadians can expect the weather to feel familiar this spring, as the trends that have prevailed over the winter are forecast to persist through March and beyond, according to The Weather Network’s 2015 Spring Outlook revealed March 3.

"Spring is going to come," chief meteorologist Chris Scott said of this long-range forecast for March, April and May. "It’s just going to be a bit delayed across the East."

The spring-like weather is due to start later for most, and remain colder than usual.

"What’s happened is a big part of what’s to come," he said. “March is a winter month."
