Trivia, Saturday edition
Being a fine crop of whiffle.
As promised, a photo of Spring caught in the very act of tensing its muscles. These daffs are growing wild in a semi-unmaintained roadside planter thingy outside our office.
I spent over an hour today reading through my building-volume calculations for the competition in Smalltown, and conclude that I was right. There is only one error that I can see, and it's on the order of a hundredth of one percent of the total volume, so I would say that we are as near as dammit to correct. Good. [Updated: it is to laugh. Read the follow-up here.]
Cooking an early dinner as I write, comfort food: a Maultaschen, zucchini and mushroom omelette. It's still daylight outside, though the sun has set: Spring is truly on its way. The weather office says that there is no further chance of frost during the next six weeks or so.

It was -31C in Regina at 9:00 a.m. and we plugged all three cars in last night. There are, however, tiny daffodils in pots for $3.99 at Safeway.
We still have snow in the forecast, no real Spring until April here, with luck.
I'm glad to hear that some places do have proper winters, we had I think two nights of frost and a single light snowfall this year.
Most of January we had -2c or so every night, but back up to +10c in the daytime. Today was sunny (imagine that) and a nice +20c, with warmer weather all week and nighttime lows of +4 or so, hopefully our winter is gone also but usually we have two nice weeks and then cold.
