Montreal/southern Quebec: 38F and brightly cloudy. Smelled like spring in the country yesterday but no bare ground. The Canada Geese were on the move, heading northerly! Lovely sight! Smells like the city in M. Still 2 feet of moderately clean snow in back yard. Front "garden", very small, gets the sun most of day; earth may appear by the end of today. Dirty snow everywhere! Hopeful!
