The first thawed patches of the year around the world. The first thawed patches of the year
The first month of spring is capricious and deceptive. So weather in March 2019 in Moscow will turn out to be very unstable. If you believe folk omens, then it should have been predicted by December: frosts and a small amount of precipitation indicated an albeit cloudy, but fairly dry March. The beginning of the month will still please you with sunshine, but at night the temperature will still remain below freezing. Although Maslenitsa marks the transition to spring warmth, on the 7th, when it is celebrated, frost is expected after snow and rain in the first days of March. The women's holiday the next day, it seems, will not be overshadowed by clouds covering the sky - the smiles of lovely ladies, whom men will congratulate, will make it bright and joyful.
No matter what anyone says, it still smells like spring in March. This is that unique freshness that anticipates the proximity of warmth and prosperity, in contrast to the dull dampness of autumn and the depressing slush of winter. True, real warmth is a long way off, but it is ahead!
Snow will fall more than once. It will get a little warmer and will be replaced by rain. Only eight days will be truly snowy and rainy. Much more trouble will be caused by cold, piercing winds that will blow from the north. The air temperature at night in the first half of the month will range from -5 to 0°C, then it will begin to rise very slowly and at the end of March you can expect +2°C. During the day from the 1st to the 15th, the warming will seem almost imperceptible - from -2 to +4°C, and in the second half the air can warm up to +8°C. But the warmth, as was said, is not constant in March, and even in the last days there will be snow every now and then: winter is very reluctant to give way to spring. Daylight hours will increase and reach 13 hours. Here and there in squares and parks, the first timid green grass will appear in thawed areas, bird voices will sound louder, willows will turn silver, and all these are harbingers of the coming spring.
Folk signs. Weather in Russia
In a metropolis, weather signs are unclear - how can you see them through the smog or hear them in the noise of cars? They are more visible in the fields, heard in the forests, where nothing prevents Mother Nature from speaking to those who love her in a special language. Certainly, weather forecast in March 2019 in Russia cannot be the same throughout all its expanses. By the middle of the month, southerners will be able to enjoy not only the emerald grass, but also the first flowers, and northerners, at best, will wait for them at the end of April. In the middle zone, summer is already judged on the 16th: the clearer and warmer the day turns out to be, the warmer summer is expected.
In the first days of March, rooks and starlings flock to the south of the country, and sometimes the trills of larks are heard. But it is not they who promise warmth, but the loud-voiced titmice. Nature wakes up and renews itself - slowly, as if reluctantly, but more and more confidently. If on one of the warm days a hives butterfly suddenly flashes by, it means that the sun’s rays have warmed both the earth and the tree trunks more deeply, along which the life-giving juices rise to the very tops of the heads. On Alexey (30th), rapid flows of water from the mountains mean the onset of truly warm days, and swans will fly in - bringing spring on white wings.
Folk omens predict that, despite all the machinations of winter, spring will still come on time.

Phenologists consider spring with the appearance of the first thawed patches; in the Moscow region this happens on average at 18.03. For meteorologists - with a stable (5 days in a row) transition of the average daily temperature through +0 o.
In the Moscow region (according to A.N. Strizhev) this is celebrated on 03.04. And among the people, the beginning of spring comes with a massive arrival of rooks, “the rook flies, dragging spring on its tail.” In the Moscow region, the average long-term date of mass arrival of rooks is March 12, the earliest is March 7, 1920, and the latest is April 5, 1952.
It has been noted that early springs are worse than late ones. Early ones usually become protracted, warming periods are interrupted by the return of cold weather. With late spring, the first summer months are warmer, which is beneficial for wildlife. Hence “Late spring will not deceive.” Late springs recur more often; they begin in early April.
During spring, the following periods (subseasons) are observed: Snowmelt from 18.03 to 15.04 (29 days), Revival of spring from 15.04 to 06.05 (21 days), Mid-spring from 07.05 to 21.05 (15 days), Predletye from 22.05 to 10.06. (20 days).
Folk omens for the spring of 2017 “foretell”:
Autumn is rainy - there will be a rainy spring. Last autumn in the Central zone of the European territory of Russia (ETR) was not stormy.
If snow falls early in the fall, then spring is early. There was no early snow.
If September is cold, the snow will melt in March. Last September was warm.
Long icicles - for a long spring. Already at the beginning of February (2017) the icicles are long.
Snowy winter means a long spring and rainy summer. At the beginning of February, it can be said that the winter was quite snowy.
If the edges of the melting snow around the trees are steep - it means a cold spring, if they are flat - it means a long spring. This February Bye (as of February 15) there are no melting circles in the trees at all, and the signs don’t “say” anything about it.
The woodpecker knocks early (back in January) - by early spring. On 1 and 10.02.2017 it is not knocking yet.
23.07 . If last fall a birch leaf begins to turn yellow on top - by early spring, and below - by late spring. Early fall of leaves on trees (birch, maple, aspen) in autumn (last) - by early spring next year. At the beginning of August, yellow foliage had not yet appeared, but by August 10, yellow foliage had already appeared on many trees, and the trees began to shed it, this is about 30 days before the long-term average, which “hints” at the early onset of spring.
7.10. Thekla-zarevnitsa. As is October (last), so is April. Until now, I have not had to evaluate in detail the expected weather conditions of the next month in the forecast (for us it is April), “relying” on, say, the ten-day weather conditions of the past month (for us it is October). Shall we try? The sign has been established in the memory of the people for more than a dozen years.
So: first ten days of April In areas north of the Yaroslavl-Tver-Pskov line, you can expect warm weather, with a predominance of partly cloudy weather, and mostly without precipitation. To the south of this line it is also warm, with air temperatures of 10-12 degrees, but with a predominance of completely cloudy skies and rain.
Second decade month (according to the weather from October 7) throughout the ETR Center, signs “promise” mainly with partly cloudy cool weather with daytime air temperatures from +3 to +5 degrees.
Forecasting the weather in last decade months in areas in the SW zone of the ETR, (southwest of the Bryansk-Smolensk-Pskov line, cloudy weather with rain and air temperature of +2-+3 degrees should be expected, and in the rest of the territory to the northwest of this line, cloudy weather can occur only towards the end ten days, and before that there will be warm weather with partly cloudy skies (2-4 cloudiness points) and no rain.
Well, and if the April weather forecasts in these areas do not come true, the omens are to blame and all that remains is to advise developing new omens for the marked areas in the next 50 (at least) years.
8.11. Dmitriev day. Grandfather's week . If November 8th is cold and snowy, spring is late and cold, and if there is a thaw, winter and spring are warm. If Demetrius' Day is snowy, then Easter is holy (Easter) is snowy, and Demetrius' Day is snowy, and so is Holy. The weather of this day was formed by an extensive, but not deep cyclone with two systems of atmospheric fronts. Cloudy weather prevailed everywhere - complete cloudiness of 10 points, in many places in the zone there was precipitation in the form of sleet or rain, in some places moderate or heavy with temperatures on the SW line Moscow - Smolensk about 0 o, and to the north of this line air temperatures were from -6 o to -8 o.
November 9. They note that what the weather is like in November, so is May. We can conclude that, in general, the weather of the month can be assessed as the usual long-term average. We can expect that in May 2017 the weather will be average, more precisely “middle-year”, which both gardeners (dacha residents) and fishermen are looking forward to with impatience and hope.
14.11.Kuzma-Demyan. A snowy day promises a big flood next spring. Snowfalls were observed everywhere in the European Russia. We'll be expecting a big flood in the spring.
22.11. Matryona winter . Cloudy, snowy weather predicts a stormy May, frost predicts an oat harvest, and rain predicts a wheat harvest. On Matryona we had weather with a predominance of slight (up to 1-3 points), in some places variable (up to 4 points) cloudiness and air temperatures up to 3-5 degrees below zero. May is not expected to be stormy.
December 11th. The snow is deep - the year is good. “A lot of snow means a lot of bread. The water will spill and there will be hay.” A snowy winter portends good grass growth.
26.12. Eugene. From this day on, we observed the weather for 12 days, believing that each day would show the weather of one month of the next year: December 26 - corresponds to January; February 27; March 28, etc. until Christmas (new style), which will indicate the weather in December of the new year. Those. 29.12 - April, 30.12 - May.
28.12. The day will “show” what it will be like March. The central zone of the EPR was occupied by the rear part of (yesterday’s) cyclone, which moved southeast during the day. Throughout the entire area the sky was covered with dense clouds. In the areas of Tver and Smolensk, in the zone of the secondary cold front, there were snowfalls, heavy in places, north-westerly winds of 2-4 m/s, the air temperature remained around 0 degrees everywhere.
29.12.The day “predicts” what you can expect April. By the morning of December 29, the crest of the anticyclone, oriented from the southwest (from Poland) towards Tver, had moved to the place of the trough. North of the Pskov-Moscow line, the weather was determined by an approaching depression with a warm atmospheric front located in it; everywhere there was complete cloudiness with snowfalls and weak winds and air temperatures from -3 to +1 degrees. To the south, under the influence of the anticyclone crest, it was clear or partly cloudy with no precipitation, a westerly wind of 2-4 m/sec, and a temperature of minus 2-3 degrees. This weather in EPR continued until the end of the day.
30.12..The day shows what it will be like May. By the morning of December 30, a system of atmospheric fronts moved from the northwest to the EPR. This frontal zone caused dense clouds over the central regions of the EPR for the entire day.
Covered and torrential precipitation was observed everywhere (snow, sleet, rain with continuous and torrential snowfalls (heavy in places), with weak winds from the southwest. And the air temperature field was “divided” into two zones: north of the Yaroslavl - Pskov line, air temperature remained positive from +1 to +2 degrees, south of this line it was negative from -1-3 o in the Moscow region, but further south it became colder to -5 in the Kursk region.
In January March, in March - January. January in EPR was somewhat warmer than the long-term average. We expect March to be warm.
6th January. If it's warm on Christmas Eve, spring will be cold. The weather of that day was influenced by three pressure systems: southeast of the Moscow-Smolensk line, the weather was determined by the rear part of the trough (which “gave” us warm weather with precipitation on December 31).
To the north of the St. Petersburg-Pskov line, the weather was influenced by a (new) trough with a warm atmospheric front approaching from the northwest, although the front was quite far away. In both zones there was complete cloudiness, snowfalls and showers. But in the “strip” between the boundaries of these zones, partly cloudy weather with weak winds prevailed. The air temperature in all three zones was from 17-18 to 26-28 degrees below zero.
7.01.Nativity. Christmas this year fell on Saturday, and according to the Kolyadnik (a 17th-century manuscript): “And if the Nativity of Christ is on Saturday, the winter is windy, the fruit is scarce for good, the autumn is dry, spring and summer are wet.”
24.01. Fedosei-Vesnyak . Fedoseevo is warm - like early spring. The warm days of January are unkind. Frail winter is tenacious. We didn’t have any special Fedoseyev warmth that day. Under the influence of a cyclone trough with cold atmospheric fronts, the weather was cloudy all day with snowfalls, weak westerly winds and temperatures from +2 to -2 in the south of the ETR zone and to -5 and -8 degrees in the north of the zone in the St. Petersburg region. Such air temperatures for the end of January can still be considered, although relative, but still warm. It looks like we shouldn't expect an early spring.
Tatiana. The sun will shine on Tatiana - for the early arrival of birds. Early sun - early birds. The sun will shine through - to an early and friendly spring. Over our EPR territory on that day, the weather was determined by the trough of the cyclone, the center of which was located in the morning southeast of Kursk.
The section of the cold front associated with this cyclone had already passed Kursk by 9 o'clock, but in the rear of the front, as usually happens behind a cold front, snowfalls were observed, heavy in places. Heavy snowfalls were also observed in St. Petersburg and Novgorod. Here they were associated with a secondary cold front. And in areas located between these two zones with fronts and snowfalls, weather was observed with slight (or variable) cloudiness without precipitation, with air temperatures of about -11 degrees.
This weather continued until the end of the day. We must assume that birds also need warmth, and therefore they will not bring early spring on their wings.
26.01.The first “tsi-tsi-fi” of the great tit heralds early spring. I didn’t hear the first “tsi-tsi-fi” in this and the next few days after.
31.01. Athanasius the Clematis, Kirill. At noon the sun is early spring. Over the north of the EPR regions under consideration, the weather was determined by a wide trough of the northern cyclone. A cold front with precipitation and cloudy weather was located in the trough. To the south of the Yaroslavl - Novgorod line, the weather of this section of the ETR territory was determined all day by the crest of the anticyclone, located in the southwest outside the considered zone.
Here, at all points there was variable (less than 5 points, i.e. half the sky) cloudiness. With so many clouds (cloudy cover) at one point or another, it was quite possible to see the sun flashing at noon.
But, as I believe, it would be inappropriate in this one point to expect an early spring, relying on the “promise” of a popular sign. We will assume that at noon the sun did not appear on the EPR and there is no need to hope for an early spring.
1.02. Macarius day. Whatever the weather is on the first day, such is the whole of February. A clear sunny Makaryev day - early spring. If there are drops, believe in early spring. If there is a snowstorm on Makarya, then there will be a snowstorm throughout Maslenitsa. Pressure systems even on this day “divided” our territory under consideration into two zones: northeast of the Kaluga-Novgorod line, the trough of the northeastern cyclone with a cold atmospheric front dominated, and over the territory located southwest of the indicated line, the crest of the southern anticyclone dominated.
In the zone of influence of the trough with the front, the weather was cloudy with heavy snowfalls and weak winds, which suggests a general snowstorm. Air temperature is about -5 o. And in the southwest, outside the Kaluga-Novgorod line, partly cloudy conditions prevailed, no precipitation, weak winds and temperatures from -5 to -10 degrees. Only in the north, near St. Petersburg, was it warmer during the daytime, about -2 o.
2.02. Efimy. There is a blizzard on Makaria and Efimiya - the whole Maslenitsa is blizzardy. On Efimiya at noon the sun is early spring. The second day of February shows spring: sunny - for a red spring, cloudy - wait for late snowstorms. To the east of the Kursk - St. Petersburg line, a fairly extensive anticyclone “ruled” the weather. The skies were partly cloudy throughout, encouraging the promise of a “red” spring in these areas.
4.02. Timofey-half-winter. If the sun is visible at noon on this day, then spring will be early. On this day, in all parts of the center of the EPR the sky was overcast, and the sun did not break through.
6.02. Aksinya is half winter, half bread. Like Aksinya, like spring. In the half-winter season, a bucket - spring is red. Partly cloudy weather remained throughout the entire day throughout the entire ETR territory under consideration, which allows us to expect a “red spring” throughout the ETR territory.
14.02. Tryphon. It's starry on Tryphon - it's late spring. If many stars appear in the sky, then winter will remain for a long time and spring will be late. The weather was determined by an extensive cyclone with a system of atmospheric fronts. The sky was covered with clouds everywhere, with snowfalls. There were no stars visible.
15.02. Candlemas. Sustretev Day (meeting of winter and spring). What is the weather at Candlemas, such will be the spring. There is snow on Candlemas Day - rain in the spring. Snow is blowing across the road - it will be late spring, and if it doesn’t blow, then it will be early. In the first half of the day, the weather in our area was “taken over” by a vast ridge of an anticyclone, the center of which was located over Germany. Everywhere it was partly cloudy from 0 to 3-4 cloud points, sunny and only in the areas of Bryansk, Orel and Kursk, cloudy weather with snow remained. The air temperature was 2-3 degrees below zero.
This weather remained in the central zone of the EPR for the whole day, only in the south, in Bryansk, Orel and Kursk in the afternoon the weather changed, the number of clouds decreased, the snowfalls stopped, and due to the increased wind, low-level snowstorms began (snow was blowing across the road) .
So, it's time to take stock . First, about spring in general: the first and most important prediction of all signs is that spring will definitely come, to everyone’s joy. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of signs (9 out of 14) “noted” that it would come normally, in the average time frame.
Three signs “spoke” for an early spring, and only two of the signs timidly noted that spring can also be protracted. In terms of the number of cloudy days, precipitation and air temperature, spring as a whole can also be expected to be normal. It’s more difficult to interpret opinions month by month, but we’ll try.
March the signs “promised” cloudy, warm, but wet, and only one noticed that March would be normal in terms of precipitation.
April. If we strictly follow the “promises” of the signs, then we must separately evaluate the northern and southern parts of the EPR territory we are considering. The approximate border of different weather conditions in April will run along the Pskov - Moscow line. In areas located north of this line, according to signs, April can be expected to be cloudy, or with predominantly cloudy weather, with precipitation in the form of snow and rain with light winds and air temperatures around 0 o.
To the south of the indicated line, signs incline us to the fact that April can be expected to be partly cloudy, or with no more than partly cloudy weather. No precipitation. With weak winds from the south. In partly cloudy weather during the day, the sun will provide a warm, comfortable temperature.
May. Assessing the predictions of popular signs, we can expect that cloudy weather with clearings will prevail throughout the month, only some days will be completely cloudy. The number of days with rain will be close to the normal, multi-year number of days. Only on certain days of the month can you expect dense clouds with showers. Signs do not “promise” sharp differences in air temperature from normal (long-term average) values.
And the last thing, but it will no longer be accepted from opinion. In 1996, Polish scientists from the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management created a mathematical model to predict weather anomalies for the coming 500years. And in 2005, a senior lecturer at the Bashkir Pedagogical University compiled a weather forecast for 100 years.
In both forecasts, the authors did not mention 2017. This allows us to believe that no anomalous weather “gifts” are expected this year, and the year will pass within the usual long-term average values for the number of cloudy days, phenomena, air temperature, and wind.
Here: in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Spring comes 7 times!
Calendar spring- begins on March 1 according to the current Gregorian calendar and lasts three spring months of March, April and May. - This Once.
Calendar spring according to the old style- begins on March 14 according to the current calendar and ends on June 14. - This Two.
Astronomical spring(according to the Sun): - occurs on the Spring Equinox Day 20 (this year, 2013) or March 21.- This Three.
Meteorological spring- occurs when the actual average daily temperature exceeds 0°C.- This Four.
Climate spring - From time to time, climatologists themselves reassign the day of the arrival of spring: the day when the climatic norm of the average daily temperature rises above 0°C. In Moscow, climate spring begins on March 27 - This Five.
Since ancient times in Rus', people believed that spring comes when the rooks arrive(folk sign) - This Six.
Phenological spring- a rather vague concept, in the sense that to count its beginning, various annually recurring natural phenomena are used, for example: the appearance of icicles on the roofs of unheated premises (barn, gazebo, etc.), the appearance of the first spring (non-freezing at night) streams and etc. Everyone can choose a sign of the beginning of Spring to their liking. - This Seven.
Spring is usually divided into three periods: pre-spring, real spring, pre-flight (flight).
Pre-spring. The beginning of spring
Spring begins with the arrival of rooks. They arrive when the snow is already melting intensively. This period, called pre-spring, lasts until the snow melts. At this time, concessions to winter are still possible - the average daily temperature may drop below zero.
Real spring
Real spring comes when all the snow melts. Nature awakens, the grass begins to fill with an emerald shine, the buds swell and bloom on the trees, delighting us with the first soft green leaves... This period usually ends with the last return of cold weather, which comes during the flowering of bird cherry, after which the preflight (flight) begins.
Predletye
The pre-year period begins immediately after the “Cheremukhovy colds”, but I can’t say how it ends, when they tried to convey this simple wisdom, everything was already clear: “We study in the spring, and summer is when the holidays begin.” And now, alas, there is no one to ask...
Now the children themselves are starting to ask...
Maybe one of the readers can tell me?

What is spring like?
After dividing spring into periods, we can talk in detail about what spring is like. Most often they talk about early or late spring, then about protracted or friendly, gloomy or sunny, but very rarely, especially lately, about cold spring. All subsequent climatic examples will be given for central Russia.
Early spring(here we mean not a poetic synonym for pre-spring, but a climatic definition) - this is spring, in which pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in Moscow and the Moscow region, spring is considered early if intensive snow melting began before the first half of March.
Late spring- this, accordingly, is spring, in which the pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in the Moscow region, spring is considered late if the pre-spring began in April.
I will also say about friendly spring - the remaining definitions, I believe, are intuitively clear without additional clarification.
Friendly Spring is considered to be the period in which the pre-spring period lasts no more than 10 days.

Spring. 2019 Moscow.
15.01.2019
According to the signs of Anna and Pokrov, it turns out thatthis spring, despite the late Easter, will not be late.
Most likely Spring will be early but prolonged, warm weather will take a long time to set in, and, unfortunately, there will be very few sunny, and later hot, days this spring, like the previous one. Appreciate sunny days! As soon as the sun is shining, be sure to get some fresh air.
What will this spring 2019 be like?
(preliminary forecast, compiled on January 15, 2019)
But it turns out that this year Spring, having shown its signs at the very beginning of March, will delay its final arrival almost until the last days of the month. Real spring can only come in early April (the snow will finally melt). March will be an early spring, but gloomy month, will begin with thaws, but in the second decade the thaws may abruptly give way to frosts. The end of March and the beginning of April will not please us very much with the spring sun. April will be noticeably warmer than normal at the beginning of the first decade, and then in the middle of the second. The May Day holidays will be relatively warm and sunny. Unfortunately, this year in the Moscow region, return May frosts are very likely; this could happen on the eve of Victory Day or immediately after it; almost summer warmth can be expected only towards the end of the month; in the third ten days of May, warm but rather humid weather will set in.
FACTS about the weather in spring 2019:
January 24, 2019. Fedosy Vesnyak Day: “It’s warm in Fedosia - it’s like early spring.”
On January 24, 2019, frosty weather set in in Moscow, the temperature in one day reached -18°C - it was cold in Fedosia. On the previous day, January 23, the minus record for the month was reached.
Summary: Ranspring in Moscow most likely will not happen.
February 06, 2019. Saint Xenia's Day
On St. Xenia's Day in Moscow, alas, it is cloudy, despite the fact that the air temperature was above normal -1.5°C, cloudy weather on this day means a long spring.
February 15, 2019.Candlemas
At Candlemas in Moscow there was not just snow, but sleet... But, admittedly, very light - to a moderately wet spring
. The cloud cover that day, although continuous, was high; in the evening the sky was visible through the clouds. The average daily temperature turned out to be noticeably higher than the climate norm - this may mean that The upcoming spring will be gloomy in its parameters, but noticeably warmer than the climate norm.
At the moment, it looks like spring will come in normal climatic terms - at the very end of March, beginning of April.
We are waiting and preparing to clarify the forecast based on other later signs:
March 09, 2019. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)
Steps of spring. Moscow. 2018
March 2019- day of arrival of rooks ( the pre-spring has arrived- step 3).
March 21 - March 21, 2019 00:58 Moscow time will come astronomical Spring(- step 4).
March 27, 2019 Spring
.. April 2019- the day when all the winter snow melts in Moscow - real spring will come (step 6).
April 2019- the day when all the ice on the pond melts (step 7).
Spring. 2018 Moscow
FACTS about the weather in spring 2018:
January 24. Fedosy Vesnyak Day. “It’s warm in Fedosia - it’s like early spring.”
On January 24, 2018, Moscow experienced weather that could not be called warm this winter: T cp = -7.8°C. On the previous day, January 23, the minus record for the month was reached.
Summary: The possibility of early spring in Moscow is a big question.
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring.”
On Saint Xenia's Day in Moscow: "Frost and sun; a wonderful day!". Clouds began to roll in only in the evening...
- To a friendly spring! And yet, at first (late March - early April) spring will be sunny!
February, 15.Candlemas- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.”
But there was still snow on Candlemas in Moscow... But, really, it was very weak - to a moderately wet spring
. The cloud cover on this day, although continuous, was high, and sometimes the sun shone through. The average daily temperature turned out to be very close to the climatic norm, but it turned out to be less than a degree lower - this may mean that the coming spring, in terms of its parameters, will be close to the climate norm, but still a little warmer (principle of inversion).
- “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April” (until mid-April according to the Gregorian calendar). On Obretenye The weather in Moscow was clear and sunny, which means that all the snow will melt in early April.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos."Fedot is evil - Don't be in April with grass!
Fedot turned out to be almost the same in Moscow! The wind speed during the day did not exceed 2 m/s, the daytime temperature was close to normal, although there were periods of gusty winds of 6 m/s in the early morning and late evening, but overall Fedot in Moscow turned out to be not evil- means soon to be with grass!
Steps of spring. Moscow. 2018
(step 1) - It’s snowing outside, frosty and sunny, air temperature at night -18°C during the day -8°C
(step 2) - Cloudy, 0°C during the day, -4°C at night
18th of March: Sunny, snow blinds your eyes. In the snow: Crow? - Not a crow. Bah! Rook!
And there’s a whole flock hiding in the trees...
The rooks have arrived - Spring has come! (the pre-spring has arrived- step 3).
March 20 - 03/20/18 19:15 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(moment of passage of the orbital point of the vernal equinox of the Earth- step 4).
March 27- The day when climate control comes to Moscow Spring(long-term average daily temperature exceeds 0°C degrees - step 5)
April 8. All the winter snow has melted in Moscow - real spring has come (step 6).
Spring. 2017 Moscow. (forecast based on weather signs)
24.01.17 the coming spring will not be late; rather, spring will even be early, but protracted; warm weather will take a long time to set in, and, unfortunately, there will be very few sunny and later hot days this spring. Appreciate sunny days: as soon as the sun is shining, be sure to get some fresh air.
Facts about the weather in spring:
January 24. Fedosy Vesnyak Day. “It’s warm in Fedosia - it’s like early spring.” It’s warm in Moscow on this day: the air has warmed up to +1°C. This weather portends early spring...
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring.”
It's frosty and sunny in Moscow this morning! Wonderful day!
February, 15.Candlemas Aksinya - clear! Well, perhaps spring will not be gloomy at all? - Good weather won't hurt anyone!

Spring. 2015 Moscow. (forecast based on weather signs)
01/09/15 The thunderstorm that occurred on Anna Zimoukaznitsa most likely indicates that the spring of 2015 will begin early with a strong thaw, but the arrival of real warmth (real spring) will be delayed until April, i.e. It looks like the coming spring will be early but protracted.
But after the warmth sets in, this spring may end with unusually hot days.
January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day in Moscow it was warm, the maximum temperature was 0°C, the average daily temperature was -1.5°C, with the norm being 9.7°C. It turns out that the possibility of an early onset of spring is still confirmed(see Signs about the weather)
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, the morning of this day turned out to be cloudy, but by noon the clouds began to clear, the sun came out. During the day the clouds became less and less and by night it cleared up completely. Precipitation on this day was only indicated by light snow. This weather suggests that although spring in Moscow may begin early, the period of cloudy and slushy weather will last almost until mid-spring, but then it will get down to business and for the most part its second half will be warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was relatively warm and cloudy, the air temperature was from -2 to -1°C, a weak westerly wind, snow at times, in the afternoon it began to clear up, while the temperature dropped to -4°C, the wind was north-west, then northerly with gusts up to 12 m/s, in the evening the temperature continues to drop from -4 to -8°C, clear, northerly wind gusts up to 15 m/s.
Such weather may mean that in the spring we will have a rather warm and not very sunny March and April, rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be noticeably warmer than normal, but the weather will be unstable and windy at first, and hot, dry weather will set in at the end of May.

Spring. year 2014. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
12/07/13 So far there are no direct signs about what the spring of 2014 will be like, but indirect ones (it seems that the signs that the winter will be “classical”, i.e. close to the climate norm, are beginning to be justified) we can assume that the coming spring will not be late.
The first sign about the weather in spring will be received in Fedosy Vesnyak Day (24.01.14).
Facts about the weather. Spring 2014.
January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day The thermometer could only rise to -11.6°C - the average daily temperature was -15.5°C, while the norm was 9.7°C. It turns out that (see Signs about the weather)
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, “Aksinya was clear!”- Early in the morning, the clouds that had covered the sky all night cleared and the weather remained clear all day, only in the late evening the sky became hazy. This weather suggests that spring in Moscow, although it will come with a slight delay, will be friendly, warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “At Candlemas the starry sky means late spring,” “What is the weather at Candlemas, such will be the spring.” There was no starry sky at Candlemas. On this day in Moscow from morning to evening it was warm and cloudy, air temperature +2 - +3°C, weak southwest wind, calm at times, in the evening it began to drizzle, ending with light rain and snow.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have quite warm and not very sunny March and April, but not rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be slightly warmer than normal, but the precipitation will correspond to the entire spring.
- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On Candlemas in Moscow it snowed only in the early morning, then the sun began to peek through the clouds more and more often... - Towards a dry and sunny spring!- “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” There was no precipitation on Obretenye in Moscow, which means that even if there is still snow, it will not last long.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos- On this day, Fedot, indeed, brought a gusty wind (11-12 m.s.) to Moscow. According to the saying: “Fedot is evil - do not be (in March according to the old style) with grass.” - it seems that nature has in store for this There will be a few unpleasant surprises this spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2014.
March 01 - calendar Spring. Beautiful clear day! Temperature at night -5°C; during the day +2°C; a weak south, south-east wind, and only 1 cm of snow remained, and even then, mostly not snow, but ice.
March 20, 2014 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(the orbital point of the Earth's vernal equinox has passed).
March 22 - The rooks have arrived! Spring came! By evening all the winter snow had melted - real spring has come .
April 05 - meteorological spring has arrived (average daily temperature finally exceeded zero). The snow that fell in April has melted.
07 April- water from melted snow simply soaked into the ground - no streams .
Spring. year 2013. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
01/12/2013 According to popular wisdom, it turns out that this spring will be similar to the springs of the 70s and 80s - March will be almost a winter month. Real spring will begin in the second ten days of April. In March and the first half of April, cloudy weather with precipitation will prevail. But May will be warm and dry, but in the first half it can also “please” with returning cold weather (this forecast will still be clarified based on later signs).
Facts about the weather. Spring 2013
The 25th of January. According to weather signs in Fedosy Vesnyak Day(January 24 - average daily temperature -10.2°C) it turns out that there will be no early spring in Moscow(see Signs about the weather)
February 06. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring” - on this day in Moscow there was heavy snow in the morning, and then until At the end of the day the weather was cloudy and slushy - +1. This suggests that the first half of spring will be dominated by cloudy weather with precipitation.
February, 15. Candlemas- “What is the weather on Candlemas, such is the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was cold and cloudy, the temperature gradually increased from -8 to -5°C, variable northeast, weak north wind, clears in the afternoon for several hours of cloudless sky, maximum temperature -2.3°C, weak north wind, then calm, in the evening - partly cloudy, calm, getting colder.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have a rather cold March and the beginning of April with mostly cloudy weather, in the second half of April it will be warm and sunny until the beginning of May, and May as a whole will be cool, but not very rainy - will prevail partly cloudy.
- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On Candlemas in Moscow it snowed only in the early morning, then the sun began to peek through the clouds more and more often... - Towards a dry and sunny spring!- “If snow (falls) on Obretenye, then trample it until April (spring will drag on).” There was no precipitation in Moscow on Obretenye, which means that by April 14 (01.04 old style) almost all the snow will have melted - this means that there will be at least Spring and late, but friendly.
March 13. Vasily Teply (Kapelnik)- On Vasily, from the thawed patches around the trees, they determine: “Steep edges - spring is friendly.” - It turned out to be not easy to find trees with undisturbed snow in Moscow. Found. An interesting detail: the circle of a white birch is small, almost close to the trunk, while the circle of a thick old linden is half a meter away from the trunk, but the edges of all of them are steep, going vertically down. Spring will be friendly.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos:"Fedot is evil - not to be (in March according to old style) with grass." (If there is bad weather or wind, then spring will be delayed, and the first fresh grass will appear only in April - by April 14 according to our modern calendar). In the old days they said about the weather that happened in Moscow on March 15: “Fedot came, but not the same one!” - gusty winds and 25 mm of precipitation per day. But in the end - nothing new, it’s already clear that spring will be late...
April 1 Over the weekend I found the following weather data for April: In the old days, the most recent annual frosts were Blagoveshchensk and they fell at the end of March according to the Julian calendar - according to the modern calendar their peak falls on April 7. Nowadays they almost never happen, otherwise everyone would know about them (everyone knows the Epiphany frosts), but this spring is such that anything can happen... I’ll make an amendment to the temperature chart for the Annunciation frosts (light green line), we’ll see. What will happen...
By the way, despite the fact that we are all tired of waiting for spring, these cold weather are needed to stop the melting of snow, otherwise, given how much snow has accumulated, spring flood could become an "all-Russian flood"
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2013
March 20 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(The earth has passed the vernal equinox, from now on the day is longer than the night). But the weather so far is such that it doesn’t even smell like spring: the temperature at night is -10°C; during the day -5°C; North wind; snowdrifts 60 cm high!
26 March - the rooks have arrived: a large flock of rooks sat down to rest on a huge old poplar right in front of our windows - Spring came! (the pre-spring has arrived).
March 27 the date set by meteorologists has arrived climatic Spring(the average daily temperature on this day, alas, is -8°C).
March 31 meteorological winter has ended and has come meteorological Spring(the average daily temperature on that day exceeded 0°C and never fell below this level again).
April 05 streams stopped freezing at night. But my “test stream” appeared only today - the mass of snow accumulated over the winter, at first, held the melt water within itself. I took a video of the stream that just appeared from my phone, last year’s video was also preserved there - the comparison was simply amazing... I invite you to take a look at the video:
Video. Spring impromptu from the phone. 04/05/2013. Moscow, pond on Vyazemskaya, test stream. Sounds of Spring.
07.04.2013.
I planned to re-shoot the episode from April 5 in higher quality, and so that everything would be the same as last year’s recording.
Alas, in the morning it was snowing and raining, and the stream was barely flowing, but still flowing! And this despite the sub-zero temperature at night! In general, if the picture has changed, then in the sense of the mood for spring, only for the worse - I decided to leave everything as it is... (According to official weather data, the height of the snow cover decreased during this time from 48 to 45 cm).
April 17 at the meteorological site of the All-Russian Exhibition Center the snow has completely melted - the real spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2012
March 28- rooks arrived (they definitely saw them), in an arc version on March 25 (it is possible that they were rooks - from afar, unreliable) - spring has come ( pre-spring).
April 28 +26.3°C(in fact, there is an element of deceit in our calculation of time, because this is a leap year and, in theory, the date corresponding to ordinary years is April 29).
April 29- temperature record (maximum) for this date for the entire observation period - +28.9°C(nothing to complain about here, it really is a temperature record!)
When will Spring come?
Signs and signs of spring
SPRING, the season that lasts in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth from the moment of the vernal equinox (March 20 or 21) to the summer solstice (June 21 or 22).
Great Soviet Encyclopedia.
SPRING is a transitional season, when there is a noticeable increase in daylight hours, the ambient temperature rises and the natural activity of living beings and plants intensifies.
"Wikipedia." Ed. from 03/20/2012
After three workshops with Jörg Bratsch, the “Final Grand” appeared yesterday! The weather, rain, wind and mud was perfect for the dogs. After a while, my fingers became sticky, the water slowly ran through my usually thick jacket, but all this could not take away from the good mood in Alba.
The tasks were mastered by Anouk very well! That's why the assistants were always very interesting yesterday. However, yesterday we were able to. Hmmm, you see, we still have a long way to go, but we still have plenty of time! This weekend Chilly and I were at the Heckengau Work Center. Chilli, however, was again the world in person.
SPRING is when you can launch boats in the stream!

What is spring like?
After dividing spring into periods, we can talk in detail about what spring is like. Most often they talk about early or late spring, then about protracted or friendly, gloomy or sunny, but very rarely, especially lately, about cold spring. All subsequent climatic examples will be given for central Russia.
Yes, and then the highlight, a night with my brother, for the first time without us. It was not so much for him, but for the joy when he saw us again. But he loves my brother very much, and therefore he may well survive this night. On Sundays there was still a problem with delivery according to the program.
Alfie was the star on the ship for a short time when a group of Japanese people discovered him and thought they had never seen such a beautiful dog before, so they had to photograph him from all angles and with all the possible people, Alfie perfectly placed him in the center and only showed his chocolate side.
Early spring(here we mean not a poetic synonym for pre-spring, but a climatic definition) - this is spring, in which pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in Moscow and the Moscow region, spring is considered early if intensive snow melting began before the first half of March.
Late spring- this, accordingly, is spring, in which the pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in the Moscow region, spring is considered late if the pre-spring began in April.
And even today our golden treasure was really flat. He didn’t want to get up at all and slept almost all day until he went for a walk. We are all proud of our golden treasure! Dear Housewife, Thank you for this detailed and loving report. Congratulations to Ditzingen.
We were on Saturday with our Anouk for the physical test and on Sunday for the meaning of the form. The judge's comment in the physical test is absolutely appropriate. Cheerful, active girl! Well, taking into account the form, Anouk, despite the fall of the fur, “received an excellent one.” Here's a short report.
Good muscularity, very good bone strength, erect posture. Here's judge Vivian Jones' score. Mika is always cheerful and happy sunshine. What stands out is his strong expressive “will to please” and his unbridled pleasure in all areas of work with his man.
I will also say about friendly spring - the remaining definitions, I believe, are intuitively clear without additional clarification.
Friendly Spring is considered to be the period in which the pre-spring period lasts no more than 10 days.

Spring. 2017 Moscow.
24.01.2017 the coming spring will not be late; rather, spring will even be early, but protracted; warm weather will take a long time to set in, and, unfortunately, there will be very few sunny and later hot days this spring. Appreciate sunny days: as soon as the sun is shining, be sure to get some fresh air.
Both in everyday life and in hunting and non-hunting business, its lightness is remarkable. This property also shows up in the physical test. Overall, a somewhat cautious and sensitive balance with very good jobs whose loyalty and confidence lead the way.
Thoughtful Dad will visit us next week. So far we only know the boy from reports and photographs, and they are very promising! Now we hope that the weather will give us the opportunity to practice in the water again. Because here we have our own difficulties.
Facts will be accepted about the weather in the spring of 2017.

In Northern Germany, matey, which is firmer, softer and slightly sweet, is loved because it is placed in a lake with salt, sugar and some enzymes. Scandinavian: salad with mothers, potatoes and beets. Emden, Glückstadt and Bremen-Vegesack became important staging areas for Mathijs. In Germany it is common to have new harvest potatoes, green beans and lettuce. Also brown bread and pumpernickel are ideal for fresh mothers.

For Matej, Matej is either cut or left whole. And the old proverb says: “Matej must swim” - in beer and liquor. Matei is a "virgin" herring that enters the North Sea from May to July. At this time, the fish have no access to eggs or milk, but the higher fat content is from 12 to 28 percent, which makes the matzos more beautiful. Every year there is this phase in which the herring are right before fertility - this explains the short fishing phase for Mathes.

Mates has a fat content of at least 12% and is classified as an oily fish.
On a piece of land in Louisiana that its inhabitants call "the bathtub," which lies behind levees and soon becomes submerged, a group of people live with little contact with the rest of the world.

Its inhabitants include Hushpuppi and her father, the heroes of this film. Perhaps they and others belong to the monsters of the South referred to in the title.

This girl has never seen a movie before. She wears a very black forehead, she has thin legs glued to too-big white rubber boots that sometimes leak mud from above, she doesn't always wear shorts over her panties, sometimes her father's long T-shirt, and listen to her as the animals talk.
What they say they do not always understand, because sometimes they speak in codes. Quvenzhané Wallis from south Louisiana, a third-grade girl in elementary school, plays this fusser as if she wants to convince the entire universe that she is the boss of the bath. It's impossible to imagine what Beasts of the South Wild could have been without this leading lady and her costar, Dwight Henry, who was actually a baker, and left room for sentimentality, agitation, ideology and eco-money. With them, however, we see a film as if it were independent cinema once again - with celluloid, in a collective, with lay people and animals and with a great magical realism that, no doubt, comes from the real world.
But after the warmth sets in, this spring may end with unusually hot days.

Spring. 2015 Moscow. (forecast based on weather signs)
01/09/15 The thunderstorm that occurred on Anna Winter Order most likely indicates that the spring of 2015 will begin early with a strong thaw, but the arrival of real warmth (real spring) will be delayed until April, i.e. It looks like the coming spring will be early but protracted.
But after the warmth sets in, this spring may end with unusually hot days.
January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day in Moscow it was warm, the maximum temperature was 0°C, the average daily temperature was -1.5°C, with the norm being 9.7°C. It turns out that the possibility of an early onset of spring is still confirmed(see Signs about the weather)
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, the morning of this day turned out to be cloudy, but by noon the clouds began to clear, the sun came out. During the day the clouds became less and less and by night it cleared up completely. Precipitation on this day was only indicated by light snow. This weather suggests that although spring in Moscow may begin early, the period of cloudy and slushy weather will last almost until mid-spring, but then it will get down to business and for the most part its second half will be warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was relatively warm and cloudy, the air temperature was from -2 to -1°C, a weak westerly wind, snow at times, in the afternoon it began to clear up, while the temperature dropped to -4°C, the wind was northwest then north with gusts up to 12 m/s, in the evening the temperature continues to drop from -4 to -8°C, clear, northerly wind gusts up to 15 m/s.
Such weather may mean that in the spring we will have a rather warm and not very sunny March and April, rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be noticeably warmer than normal, but the weather will be unstable and windy at first, and hot, dry weather will set in at the end of May.
When you are waiting for spring, the main thing is that it doesn’t snow that day: “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” On Obretenye in Moscow in 2015 there was no snow...
March 15 - Fedot Vetronos. Fedot turned out to be not evil this year - be in April with grass!
Steps of spring. Moscow. 2015
In Moscow on the first day of spring it is relatively warm - as much as +2 degrees! It’s true that it’s cloudy and sometimes it’s drizzling, but the mood is Spring! (step 1)
March 14 - the arrival of Spring according to the old calendar (March 1 according to the old calendar) On this day in Moscow it is warm and sunny - 9 degrees! In the next 4 days, absolute temperature records of all time were set! (step 2)
March 21 - 03/21/15 at 01:45 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring( - step 3).
08 April. By evening all the winter snow had melted - real spring has come - The day when all the winter snow melted in Moscow -
April 21 - The day before (04/20/15) the temperature dropped sharply to -2.2°C and snow fell; the average daily temperature was -0.2°C and only rose the next day - (step 7)
Spring. year 2014. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
12/07/13 So far there are no direct signs about what the spring of 2014 will be like, but indirect ones (it seems that the signs that the winter will be “classical”, i.e. close to the climate norm, are beginning to be justified) we can assume that the coming spring will not be late.
The first sign about the weather in spring will be received in Fedosy Vesnyak Day (24.01.14).
Facts about the weather. Spring 2014.
January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day The thermometer could only rise to -11.6°C - the average daily temperature was -15.5°C, while the norm was 9.7°C. It turns out that (see Signs about the weather)
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, “Aksinya was clear!”- Early in the morning, the clouds that had covered the sky all night cleared and the weather remained clear all day, only in the late evening the sky became hazy. This weather suggests that spring in Moscow, although it will come with a slight delay, will be friendly, warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “At Candlemas the starry sky means late spring,” “What is the weather at Candlemas, such will be the spring.” There was no starry sky at Candlemas. On this day in Moscow from morning to evening it was warm and cloudy, air temperature +2 - +3°C, weak southwest wind, calm at times, in the evening it began to drizzle, ending with light rain and snow.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have quite warm and not very sunny March and April, but not rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be slightly warmer than normal, but the precipitation will correspond to the entire spring.
- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On Candlemas in Moscow it snowed only in the early morning, then the sun began to peek through the clouds more and more often... - Towards a dry and sunny spring!- “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” There was no precipitation on Obretenye in Moscow, which means that even if there is still snow, it will not last long.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos- On this day, Fedot, indeed, brought a gusty wind (11-12 m.s.) to Moscow. According to the saying: “Fedot is evil - do not be (in March according to the old style) with grass.” - it seems that nature has in store for this There will be a few unpleasant surprises this spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2014.
March 01 - calendar Spring. Beautiful clear day! Temperature at night -5°C; during the day +2°C; a weak south, south-east wind, and only 1 cm of snow remained, and even then, mostly not snow, but ice.
March 20, 2014 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(the orbital point of the Earth's vernal equinox has passed).
March 22 - The rooks have arrived! Spring came! By evening all the winter snow had melted - real spring has come .
April 05 - meteorological spring has arrived (average daily temperature finally exceeded zero). The snow that fell in April has melted.
07 April- water from melted snow simply soaked into the ground - no streams .
Spring. year 2013. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
01/12/2013 According to popular wisdom, it turns out that this spring will be similar to the springs of the 70s and 80s - March will be almost a winter month. Real spring will begin in the second ten days of April. In March and the first half of April, cloudy weather with precipitation will prevail. But May will be warm and dry, but in the first half it can also “please” with returning cold weather (this forecast will still be clarified based on later signs).
Facts about the weather. Spring 2013
The 25th of January. According to weather signs in Fedosy Vesnyak Day(January 24 - average daily temperature -10.2°C) it turns out that there will be no early spring in Moscow(see Signs about the weather)
February 06. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring” - on this day in Moscow there was heavy snow in the morning, and then until the end The day was cloudy and slushy - +1. This suggests that the first half of spring will be dominated by cloudy weather with precipitation.
February, 15. Candlemas- “What is the weather on Candlemas, such is the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was cold and cloudy, the temperature gradually increased from -8 to -5°C, variable northeast, weak north wind, clears in the afternoon for several hours of cloudless sky, maximum temperature -2.3°C, weak north wind, then calm, in the evening - partly cloudy, calm, getting colder.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have a rather cold March and the beginning of April with mostly cloudy weather, in the second half of April it will be warm and sunny until the beginning of May, and May as a whole will be cool, but not very rainy - will prevail partly cloudy.
- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On Candlemas in Moscow it snowed only in the early morning, then the sun began to peek through the clouds more and more often... - Towards a dry and sunny spring!- “If snow (falls) on Obretenye, then trample it until April (spring will drag on).” There was no precipitation in Moscow on Obretenye, which means that by April 14 (01.04 old style) almost all the snow will have melted - this means that there will be at least Spring and late, but friendly.
March 13. Vasily Teply (Kapelnik)- On Vasily, from the thawed patches around the trees, they determine: “Steep edges - spring is friendly.” - It turned out to be not easy to find trees with undisturbed snow in Moscow. Found. An interesting detail: the circle of a white birch is small, almost close to the trunk, while the circle of a thick old linden is half a meter away from the trunk, but the edges of all of them are steep, going vertically down. Spring will be friendly.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos:"Fedot is evil - not to be (in March according to old style) with grass." (If there is bad weather or wind, then spring will be delayed, and the first fresh grass will appear only in April - by April 14 according to our modern calendar). In the old days they said about the weather that happened in Moscow on March 15: “Fedot came, but not the same one!” - gusty winds and 25 mm of precipitation per day. But in the end - nothing new, it’s already clear that spring will be late...
April 1 Over the weekend I found the following weather data for April: In the old days, the most recent annual frosts were Blagoveshchensk and they fell at the end of March according to the Julian calendar - according to the modern calendar their peak falls on April 7. Nowadays they almost never happen, otherwise everyone would know about them (everyone knows the Epiphany frosts), but this spring is such that anything can happen... I’ll make an amendment to the temperature chart for the Annunciation frosts (light green line), we’ll see. What will happen...
By the way, despite the fact that we are all tired of waiting for spring, these cold weather are needed to stop the melting of snow, otherwise, given how much snow has accumulated, spring flood could become an "all-Russian flood"
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2013
March 20 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(The earth has passed the vernal equinox, from now on the day is longer than the night). But the weather so far is such that it doesn’t even smell like spring: the temperature at night is -10°C; during the day -5°C; North wind; snowdrifts 60 cm high!
26 March - the rooks have arrived: a large flock of rooks sat down to rest on a huge old poplar right in front of our windows - Spring came! (the pre-spring has arrived).
March 27 the date set by meteorologists has arrived climatic Spring(the average daily temperature on this day, alas, is -8°C).
March 31 meteorological winter has ended and has come meteorological Spring(the average daily temperature on that day exceeded 0°C and never fell below this level again).
April 05 streams stopped freezing at night. But my “test stream” appeared only today - the mass of snow accumulated over the winter, at first, held the melt water within itself. I took a video of the stream that just appeared from my phone, last year’s video was also preserved there - the comparison was simply amazing... I invite you to take a look at the video:
Video. Spring impromptu from the phone. 04/05/2013. Moscow, pond on Vyazemskaya, test stream. Sounds of Spring.
07.04.2013.
I planned to re-shoot the episode from April 5 in higher quality, and so that everything would be the same as last year’s recording.
Alas, in the morning it was snowing and raining, and the stream was barely flowing, but still flowing! And this despite the sub-zero temperature at night! In general, if the picture has changed, then in the sense of the mood for spring, only for the worse - I decided to leave everything as it is... (According to official weather data, the height of the snow cover decreased during this time from 48 to 45 cm).
April 17 at the meteorological site of the All-Russian Exhibition Center the snow has completely melted - the real spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2012
March 28- rooks arrived (they definitely saw them), in an arc version on March 25 (it is possible that they were rooks - from afar, unreliable) - spring has come ( pre-spring).
April 28 +26.3°C(in fact, there is an element of deceit in our calculation of time, because this is a leap year and, in theory, the date corresponding to ordinary years is April 29).
April 29- temperature record (maximum) for this date for the entire observation period - +28.9°C(nothing to complain about here, it really is a temperature record!)
Phenologists of the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve noted the end of the “snowmelt” subseason and the beginning of the “revival of spring” subseason.
By what signs can you determine that spring has already begun?
Signs of the “snowmelt” subseason are the appearance of the first thawed patches, the arrival of rooks, starlings, seagulls, and a steady transition to an average daily temperature above zero Celsius. This transition was celebrated this year on March 29 (for comparison, last year in 2015 it was March 18).
This year the rooks arrived much earlier than the snowmelt. The first circular thawed patches in the forest appeared on April 2. On April 5, starlings arrived, and white wagtail and common crane were also noted. On April 6, a glaucous gull was seen.
Another sign of the onset of spring is the awakening of insects.
This year, already on March 28, the first meeting with the wren butterfly was recorded in the reserve, and on April 7, their mass appearance was noted. On April 8, the first bee was seen.
At the same time, rivers usually open up and ice drift begins. This year, ice drift on Kerzhenets began on April 10. The reserve's staff note that in recent years the ice drift has been rather weak and not pronounced; the ice is rather simply melting.
The trees are gradually beginning to awaken from their winter sleep. On April 9, swelling of birch buds was noted, on April 11 - sticky alder and aspen.
But it is believed that the “revival of spring” subseason begins with the flowering of sticky alder and the transition to average daily temperatures above 5 degrees Celsius. In 2016, this happened on April 12.
A good indicator of the start of this subseason for city dwellers is the appearance of the first coltsfoot flowers.
You can also give spring to the city by planting primroses in the flower beds near your home. In the photo there is a Siberian scilla, which is not found in the wild in the Nizhny Novgorod region, but has already become a cultivated plant.
And in the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve in the spring, due to floods, there is still a break in excursions, since some sections of ecological trails are impassable. When the water subsides, excursions will resume. An application for an excursion can be filled out on our website http://www.kerzhenskiy.ru/ekoturizm/zayavka-na-ekskursiyu/
One of the areas of scientific activity of the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve is the study of the natural course of processes occurring in nature, the results of which are annually summarized in the next issue of the Chronicle of Nature. In particular, since 1994, phenological observations have been carried out in the reserve - observations of periodic seasonal changes in nature.
Spring in the European part of Russia is divided into four periods: snowmelt, revival of spring, mid-spring and early summer. A common feature of the season is an increase in solar heat, a noticeable warming of the earth's surface and air.
Also in the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve it is customary to divide spring into subperiods according to the nature of the snow cover: - snowy, motley and bare spring, after which comes green spring.
With the onset of snowy spring, snow begins to melt, but its loss is often compensated by new precipitation. Snowy spring in the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve lasts on average 32 days. Ring-shaped thawed patches form near the trees and thawed patches on the southern slopes.
Variegated spring is characterized by a motley landscape due to partial melting of snow. The temperature criterion for the beginning of the subperiod is a constant transition of maximum temperatures above 5°C. The beginning of ice drift on the river coincides with the motley spring. Kerzhenets, the beginning of sap flow at the birch tree, the awakening of urticaria and lemongrass butterflies, the arrival of the crane, white wagtail, lapwing, and chaffinch.
Naked spring is characterized by the complete disappearance of snow cover and the transition of minimum temperatures above 0°C, and daily temperatures above 5°C. This is the time of flowering of coltsfoot and dream grass, the beginning of the buds of birch, rowan, and currants, the appearance of the first bumblebees, frogs, and snakes.
Green spring is a time of greening the landscape. Green spring is characterized by the beginning of the greening of birch, alder, rowan, bird cherry, etc., the flowering of currants, dandelion, lungwort, strawberries, and blueberries. Biting mosquitoes and midges appear. The last insectivorous birds - swifts, swallows - arrive, and the first song of the nightingale is heard.
Spring has arrived in the region, the first thawed patches have appeared: this is where danger lurks. The ticks are waking up. Will there be many of them this year?
Small dangerous insects. But not for Natalia Livanova. Ticks are her job. He has been studying and researching for about twenty years. A year ago, scientists discovered a new tick in Novosibirsk.
Irina Yakubova, correspondent: “These ticks were caught in the Novosibirsk Academgorodok last year. Experts believe that this is a hybrid of the taiga tick and the Pavlovsky tick. How dangerous is it? Laboratory studies will show.”
The Pavlovsky tick is a closely related cousin of the taiga bloodsucker, but more dangerous, scientists say. It was discovered in Siberia not so long ago. The incidence of encephalitis is three times higher. Well adapted to the urban environment. And as it turned out, it is able to mate with the taiga tick. It is impossible to distinguish a hybrid with the naked eye. The same ones were found in Tomsk and its environs.
Natalya Livanova, senior researcher at the zoomonitoring laboratory of the SB RAS: “They have their own life cycle, which is not very favorable for humans. The period of activity of females is longer than that of the taiga tick. We will meet throughout June.”
Natalya Livanova is studying a hybrid today. Looks for distinctive features from pure species. There are plans to review archival fees. Should we expect a tick invasion this season? Most likely yes. Scientists say. There were a lot of rodents last fall. And they are the main carriers of ticks. However, everything will depend on the weather. Ticks do not like cold, rain and heat.

Yuri Litvinov: “the animals are ready to meet a person, attention does not harm them”
Zoologist Yuri Litvinov talks about how they help animals in zoos, where there are not enough reserves in Siberia and who are difficult to tame. Human intervention in the living conditions of wild animals leads to changes in the behavior of animals, and some species, for example, cats, are under threat of extinction.
The Novosibirsk region is inhabited by white-breasted hedgehogs
Residents of Akademgorodok are increasingly seeing hedgehogs in the surrounding forests, and in their yards hedgehogs come to drink milk and steal cat food from bowls for stray cats (in nature, hedgehogs eat insects and small rodents).
Science festival EUREKA!FEST will be held in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok
The program of the third science festival EUREKA!FEST, under the general title “Disputes of the Future,” amazes with the variety and novelty of its formats. Novosibirsk State University, together with the Akademgorodok Foundation, is the initiator of the festival and the main platform for this year.
Siberian scientists have developed a biological product against insect pests
Mushroom vs bug. We are talking about a pathogenic fungus that affects insects (for example, the same Colorado potato beetle), but is harmless to the environment. A drug is currently being tested that may eventually make it possible to stop using insecticides.
