It's still pretty chilly here. We've had a couple sunny days, but they're cold nonetheless. It's been raining the past week, though. :< I don't expect it to get much warmer until around May or June.

Still winter here. Well, sort of. It's been snowing off and on for several days, but it's not really sticking. Spring is sorta on its way...but it's not here yet!

I dunno what it's doing here. Early spring always ends up with it being nice out for a few days, then it randomly snows for a bit, then it's nice, then it snows for a bit.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10 at lunchtime and went down to -5 two hours later and started to snow.
Hopefully in a month, spring will be here completely.

Seriously?!?
I'd say your pretty lucky dude! I live in the south of England and we never get any snow at all, we're not very far above sea level and the air is far too salty. Having said that, We've had really nice summer weather for the last week! ^^

Here most of the snow comes in spring anyway, and we've had some snow. However the last few days have started out very summer like, and then turned cloudy and cold by the afternoon. So the weather here is really random right now. And, as much as I love snow, I can't wait for it to be warm enough to get just rain instead of a little rain then tons of snow.

Where I live, in SW Germany, the last winter has been very strange.
November was too warm with a mean temp of 8.1°C/46.6°F (normally it's 5.7°C/42.3°F) and no day with frost at all.
The first half of December was the same, but the days around Dec 19 (mean temp on that day: -13°C/-8.6°F!) were unusually cold (record low was -17.4°C/0.4°F) and dry. It warmed up over the freezing point again around Christmas and until New Year.
Then it stayed cold and snowy all through January (mean temp. -1.9°C/28.6°F, a normal January is 2.3°C/36.1°F), I can't remember that I've ever seen so much snow in a winter in my whole life here, because usually winters here are either mild+rainy or cold+sunny but almost never snowy (Winters in which the snow cover doesn't even last 24 hrs are common, this time it lasted almost 2 months).
This weather then continued until the middle of February, the second half was a little warmer and the snow finally melted. Still February was too cold as well (1.4°C/34.5°F vs. 3.1°C/37.6°F).
March started rainy and quite cold too, with temperatures ranging between -5°C/23°F and 10°C/50°F. Last week it suddenly became very sunny and quite warm (we had 22.6°C/72.7°F on Thursday, yay, T-shirt time!) but since last weekend it's very cloudy and sometimes rainy again and the temperatures have gone back by a bit (highs between 10°C/50°F and 18°C/64.4°F). The forecast basically says it'll cool down a bit further and "rain, rain, rain" until the middle of next week :/
Another thing about last winter is that while total precipitation was actually a good bit lower than normal, overall we had very few sunshine hours compared to the average (+3.8% in Dec, -15.8% in Jan and -15.9% in Feb) and we don't have much sunshine to start with (1900 hrs/year). This made winter even darker, I didn't really like that too much

Ugh, it's been off and on with rain and it's pretty cold. I had to wear my winter coat out the door! But it says that it's going to be more May temperatures tomorrow, which is weird. The temperature never has been like this...

I was there last summer!
I told my friends then, and I'll say it now, that's my sort of winter! Our winters usually last about 5-6 months. =\My friend was in Germany last winter, and she was told that it was the coldest winter in about 20 years. Now, she was more Central-East.

Yeah, the farther east you go, the more continental the climate gets (colder winters and slightly warmer summers). Both the winters 2008/09 and 2009/10 were quite cold (that is, in our definition of "cold"), I actually liked the 2008/09 winter because while being cold it was very sunny all the time.
So do you have snow on the ground even now?

Ah, okay. That makes sense.
There is still snow here, but most of it has melted. We may still get some more before summer, but it shouldn't be all too much. We've only really had snow since January, so I shouldn't complain. It was a really good winter.
Right now it's pleasant out. Probably about 5 or so.

Well, to be honest I live in The middle of England and I don't like snow because it never goes away and causes too many accidents, but I don't think the snow is coming after all, phew! :S

Ha! So you actually have it better than me. Here it's 9:20 pm right now and it has dropped to 4.9°C/40.8°F and still slightly raining right now (it was raining like crazy some hours ago). See, that's what I don't like about March/April... First the weather makes you think that spring has finally come but then BAM - winter strikes back, so you have to change back from T-shirt to winter jacket again, it's so annoying.Right now it's pleasant out. Probably about 5 or so.

Weather right now? How do I describe this...
It's a scorchy 35 Degrees Celsius and Heat in Increasing, there's not a cloud in the sky and There's No chance of rain for the next few days, maybe 2 weeks. It's Summer here and Summer means Hot Hot HOT! My definition of cold is a cool 24 Degrees Celsius. I live in the tropics so I would really really REALLY trade my place with anyone who experiences Snow. >.< Though i visit Japan a Lot I can't stay there long, Since School and Summer Vacation in the Philippines are totally different from America or japan.
