The calendar may say it's the first day of spring. However, the I think Mother Nature didn't get the memo. This morning in Western Massachusetts it was a whopping 19 degrees with a forecast of snow?

I know poor Mother Nature gets a bad wrap when it come to folks in the Northern complaining this time of the year. But we choose to live in a region where cold and snow are part of our life for at least 6 months a year. Every time you make a connection with some one from this area you hear a lot of the same thing.

Here is my outlook on the whole thing. We who live in the areas were cold and snow are part of our life. It's our choice. Like the folk that live in the region where snow and cold is rarely, if ever seen. I always think its funny when these area pretty much shut down with the sound of snow in the area.

Us folks in New England live for this. Its interesting to see how different a 40 degree day can be in October compared to March.

In October, we start complaining about the cold. We turn on the heat, close window, start wearing numerous layers clothing, then become hermits in our humble abodes. We start closing things up while planing for the up coming chill.

Then in March the thermometer hits 40. We shut off the heat or turn it down so we can open the windows to "air out the house" as my mom always said. The layers of clothing accumulated of the last few month starts to get stripped off. One of the best parts of this time of year is you get to see your neighbors again and how much "winter weight" that added.

I just wanted to share a quick look at spring in my area. I love living in New England and watching how people change with the seasons. Us New Englanders are lucky enough to have these change to give us a feeling of change.

Change is something we all need at times. Whether that change is in the world around your or from within yourself. Changes can be experienced in many different ways. This is why some of us arrived at Wealthy Affiliate. The change that will make a difference in our lives.

Soon I will be celebrating my first year within the WEALTHY AFFILIATE. I will share some of the changes I have had in an up coming blog.

Feel free to "Reply" and share some of the changes you have encountered since joining WA. Give others that inspiration to help us all move forward.

So envy because there is no snow in my country. Have a great weekend:)

Have a great weekend Darren..

I was born and raised in CT so I know exactly what you are talking about! Heard from my family that they got more snow on the first day of Spring. Yes, you are right. We are built to deal with that stuff! No matter where I am, I will always be a proud New Englander! Alanna

Can take us out of New England..But can not take New England out of us.. Southerns areas have been faring well. The slow thaw is good to decrease any chance of flooding

We got around 6 inches of snow today, I'm hoping it's the last. Have a great weekend Ken:)

Have a great weekend Jazmin :-)

Thanks Ken:)

Yeah, you're right --I don't think Mother Nature got the memo. I'm not complaining though. Earlier this week they predicted snow today....instead we got rain. I'll take it.

Lucky You,,, We started the day at 30 degrees. Mid day it was at 25 with a late afternoon snow and sleet mixture. Only in New England.
I'm not complaining as well, just looking forward to the changes.

It was also a nice warm Spring day here in Quebec!,,

Lucky!!!...It was warner this morning at 9 am then at 1 this afternoon.

I live on an island 9 miles long in the Caribbean. I could use some of that weather! Poor me.
