Cat_LeFey, There's an old folk saying in the U.S. Midwest that says "Spring will come when it snows on the robin's tail three times."
I've been sorta testing this out for the past four years, noting when I see the first robin redbreast back and then counting the snows that "stick" after that.
It seems accurate enough, on average, it's been anywhere from 2 to 4. Just saw my first robin last weekend and we're on our second snow, so it's not long now.
