Although it's not the first robin of the year, I did see my first truckload of SeaDoos on the highway!

Unfortunately, they were heading back to the plant to get snow skis installed.

Merci Jean-Guy, the rest of the week does not look good and today is pretty cold and damp so gonna make the best of it.

Its so bloody cold even one of your dogs gave up on going out

What's the big hurry? I'm still having fun!

Naw, he's just older so he doesn't pull for as long. Both of them could stay outdoors all day if I let them.

[leftylucas]

No man lasts longer when they get older

Right around this time we see the geese starting north------I just saw a huge flock heading further south

Maybe its time to post the Spring Openings calendar? Something has to kick-start spring?! Maybe Mother Nature will read it and realized sh screwed up.

High of -9* on Monday - UNREAL!

[Kilroy]

I'd love to have some news to start the calendar but sadly nobody is calling anything yet lol.
Earliest I ever played was March 8. Some dates stick in your head.

[Tee made]

What was the latest you ever played ?

[hx101]

I doubt we will be out before the last week in April....

[Kilroy]

What was the latest you ever played ?

That would be Dec 15. Some people were playing in early Jan one year. I didn't go. LOL

Not to be "debbie downer" but, I heard from someone through the Gatineau Public Works dept that the frost in Aylmer (rue Principale) goes down to 2.1 meters!!! That's nearly 7 feet! Going to be a long and slow spring my friends.

[danielao]

Definitely see well into April before things are in full swing.

[mikelaurin]

April 27th first game at Upper Canada last year, Prescott 2or 3 weeks before that

Arnprior area has the same, if not deeper frost line. My brother's company is working on digging for an underground garage, and they've had to inject warm salt water to aid with the excavation.

Can't see us starting before late April, unless of course this weather warms up significantly over the next week, and STAYS warm for April...

[Wilster]

The 14 day forecast , has it being below average temperatures right up till the end of March

[big mac]

May 1st at the Canadian---but played in the south last year. This year--- 7 games in 7 weeks down here ----rain today and tomorrow---calling for 3 inches !!!!!!! You guys are not missing a thing

[John]

Definitely looking like very late April at best. So sad.

[Break68]

I leave for Myrtle Beach in 18 days, I can't wait. This winter sucks.

It is what it is, we can only hope it melts quickly once it starts. Hopefully the local courses will be aggressively promoting their courses and we golfers will be happy to take their promotions. Starting the car this morning in -19° temperature made me think that if I was a golf course owner I would be doing everything I can right now to get golfers to come to my course since this will be a very very short season. Don't wait, get your promotion hats on!!!

[Break68]

cbc.ca is saying 5 to 10 cm of snow for Wednesday now, for the love of god.............now more winter, no more winter, no more winter

[leftylucas]

This is clearly the fault of all of those golfers who went out and played this same week in March of 2012 in 27° of beautiful sunshine. I did not mean this to happen

As late as we started last year, I was still golfing a few times a week in November. So that's still 7 months of golf. I'm hoping it's a late start to Winter frost again!

[leftylucas]

We may get lucky and things will thaw quickly south of us, like Syracuse but this picture shows that they still have a fair amount of snow.

[jvincent]

I was actually looking at some old pictures last night and went through the winter of 2008 folder.

To put things in perspective, at this date in 2008, my shed in my back yard still had about 5 feet of snow on it's roof! Granted 2008 was just a few centimeters short of an all time record for snow, but it makes me feel somewhat better about this year.

Bethpage Black anyone?

[Big Johnny69]

Bethpage Black anyone?

Inski!!

I wonder if they'll be open soon down there? I don't think NYC has had the same sort of crap as we have here....
