The first day of spring is march the 20th, but this year since its alot less rain where i am anyway (Scotland) i would consider winter over at the end of february or begining of march. I also hate the winter cos you cant get outside so often, the dark nights, the wind, but when it gets to march i think i can be happy to say the worst has past and i look forward to every day getting closer to the summer and the summer holidays !
