A Very Early Spring

This year is the first time I've seen the trees on my street blooming in February. It isn't my imagination. Maps from the USGS-led USA National Phenology Network indicate where Mother Nature began thinking that spring arrived in February. The data, updated daily, comes from observations of budding trees, blooming flowers, and animal behavior. The map shown here is the Spring Leaf Index Anomaly for March first. The area in red indicates where the data shows spring arriving unusually early. -via Digg

I married a Canadian lady over 52 years ago. I certainly didn't think of her being any different, although I thought the Canadian women were sharper dressers than their US counterparts at the time. She still is, and she also became an American citizen in 2004.

This video seems to be going over well with the Canadian half of the family. And I like it because it doesn't just look at eastern Canada quirks, like too many videos that would be analogous to videos making fun of the USA by only looking at the South. Both countries are big enough to have a variety of regional stupid quirks.
