Hi!

I have done my research, and I think this is correct! Presutural ac's! Can anyone confirm this?

I've been watching for B. major! I usually see it a little later than this, last year it was 27th March but this year seems to be ahead even though we had an arctic winter!

Spring comes here in small parcels of a day or two at a time. Pfft

My previous "record" was March-21-2009. March-27 would be a good average here.

but this year seems to be ahead even though we had an arctic winter!


Here in northwest Germany we only had "arctic" condititions with much snow very early this winter in late November and until end of December. The strongest winter since decades was the one before. I had never seen such masses of snow since the 1970s...
Best regards,
Jürgen

Thanks Stephane! Grin

Juergen, we had a lot of snow too in December and from late November it was positively arctic with at least 6 weeks at or below freezing, down to -17C at night! One day was maximum -7C! Shock
