The first thawed patches in. Spring natural phenomena
In three spring months, nature manages to change beyond recognition. In March, she is just beginning to awaken from hibernation. The spring heat is not enough to make the snow and ice blocks melt, but the air gradually warms up, preparing all living things for a gradual awakening; the first cumulus clouds appear, which still soar very high.
The most common natural phenomena in spring:
Active melting snow starts in the first half of April. It is caused by the sun, which is already rising quite high above the horizon. The air around is filled with the murmur of streams, which can trigger the onset of floods - a clear sign of spring.
Fascinating and scary. The ice-bound rivers will not soon be able to get rid of their shackles, but as soon as the sun gains its strength, they will rebel and try to split the shell of ice with their currents. Sometimes the ice does not have time to melt and ice jams form, which can cause devastating floods. But if the rivers break up correctly, and the ice breaks out in several places at the same time, then serious consequences can be avoided.
The sun gradually fills the earth with its heat, which reflects it and creates the prerequisites for the formation spring winds. They are still weak and unstable, but the warmer it gets around, the more the air masses move. Such winds are called thermal; they are characteristic of this time of year.
Here and there the snow melts from the ground, forming inconspicuous thawed patches. They appear wherever the snow cover was thinnest. It is the appearance of thawed patches that indicates that winter has surrendered its rights and a new season has begun. The first greenery quickly breaks through them, and on them you can find the first spring flowers - snowdrops. The snow will lie in crevices and depressions for a long time, but at higher elevations it melts quickly, exposing the islands of land to the warm sun.
They appear on trees in late April - early May. The grass has already sprouted its green stems, and the trees are preparing to put on their green outfits. The leaves will bloom quickly and suddenly. Today you were glad that the buds were swollen, and tomorrow they are already showing off a large leafy bud that is about to open. How beautiful and joyful it is all around. The singing of birds is heard, the buzzing of the first bees and insects appears. Everything is awakening around and preparing for the celebration of the flowering of life.
The first thunderstorm may occur at the end of May. Not so strong yet, but fierce. Heavy rains will finally get rid of the spring mud and prepare the ground for the start of the next season. The transition to summer will not last long. This is the only seasonal period that passes quickly and unnoticed.
Bright blooms, lush greenery, warm air - all this suggests that summer will come into its own in a very short time. In many areas of our country, according to local signs and beliefs, the end of spring symbolizes the appearance of the first mosquitoes. As soon as it buzzes above your ear, that means summer has come.
"Nature's clear smile
Through a dream he greets the morning of the year..."*
(A.S. Pushkin)
So – Spring, albeit a calendar one for now. Favorite poems from childhood. A poet who is in our lives FOREVER!
The first days of March are counted in different ways. Calendar spring is March 1, phenological spring is the appearance of the first thawed patches and snowdrops, meteorological spring is when the average air temperature passes through zero degrees, astronomical spring is March 21, the day of the vernal equinox.
The long-awaited March has finally arrived!!! March is a mischievous, prankster, with melting snow, rushing streams, and the return of birds. The rooks are the first to fly to the still empty fields and forests, noisily greeting the beautiful Spring entering her domain.
The name of the month came to our ancestors from Byzantium. The month “Martius” is named after Mars, the ancient Roman god of fields, harvests and cattle breeding, and later the god of war.
In the old days, March was considered the first month of the year; the count changed at the beginning of the 15th century. The year began to be counted from September, and March was the seventh month. Since 1700 it has become the third!
Have you noticed the sadness of the trees, stretching their branches - hands to the sun, praying for warmth and light, for the possibility of a new life? A little more and the first thin, gently green leaves will appear and the trees will speak, begin their new song, the song of the rebirth of life, which they will sing We have until late autumn, and we will listen with pleasure and hope and believe that Happiness will happen this spring. It doesn’t matter what our Happiness will look like, the main thing is that it will happen. Maybe it’s the first bouquet of lilies of the valley, maybe the first kiss, maybe the birth of a new life, maybe a meeting that will change your life.
In the thawed patches, very delicate-colored grass is pecking, which is simply scary to step on: suddenly the thin stems under the sole will crunch and fall on their backs to the ground with crumpled leaves and will not rise again, no matter how the Red Sun, which is already high above the horizon, beckons them to this action , almost at its zenith, scans the Earth to find shaded areas with unmelted snow.
Story one. Snowdrop
Graceful, delicate, thin, but at the same time unusually bold and strong, these flowers. They are the first to courageously enter into combat with winter, appearing among the snow.
They say that if you listen carefully, you can hear the ringing of these small bells, which seem to awaken other flowers from hibernation.
The first thawed patches, the first spring smell emerging in the air, the first warmth of the sun's rays warming the earth, the first flower, whose image is always full of secrets and mysteries. Snowdrop is one of the very first heralds of the end of winter. The British call it a snow drop or a snow earring. For the French and Italians, the snowdrop plays the role of a snow drill. The Czechs call it a snowflake, and the Germans call it a snow bell. The Bulgarians gave the plant, which defies winter, the nickname “badass”.
There is a belief that the snowdrop is not only the first spring flower, but also the first flower in nature. This is proven by the legend that tells the story of the first people on earth. When Adam and Eve sinned, an angry God drove the people out of paradise. Winter reigned in the world at that time: it was snowing and there were severe frosts. Fierce February covered the woman’s tender body with its cold, the prickly snow burned her bare feet, and everything around was gloomy, deserted and lifeless. Eva could not stand the cold cold and began to cry. As a consolation, the angel turned several snowflakes into delicate but persistent white snowdrops, so that these fragile flowers would give hope for a bright and joyful future.
From Irina Palkevich's blog. Thank you, Irochka.
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, while 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 clear-voiced titmouses. 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.
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. 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 “Cheremukhovyh cold”, 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.
Resume: 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:

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. 2016

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.
Facts about the weather in spring.
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.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- 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!

Spring. 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.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “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 15. 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. 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 has arrived! 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. 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).

January 25. 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.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “If snow (falls) on Obretenye, then trample it until April (spring will drag on)” On Obretenye in Moscow there was no precipitation - this 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 15. 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. 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!
March 26 - 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 has arrived! (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 in 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. 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!)
