| 1452245 | 2018-08-04 06:22:00 | I agree - I think it is spring too :)In spite of the debate on this topic. My logic - mid-winter is straddled around the shortest day (20-21 June) - so winter is May, June and July. So then of course - mid-summer is straddled around the longest day (20-21 December) and is November, December and January. |

| 1452247 | 2018-08-04 08:13:00 | I have had a few daffodils flowering in my backyard. Tomorrow morning it is forecast for a - 2-degree frost. Birds are flocking to my backyard but you have to feed them so that they do this. My cats leave the birds alone, maybe because they are getting too old to chase birds or the cats are unable to get near them. The birds warn each other of approaching danger. |

| 1452248 | 2018-08-04 08:50:00 | Well officially spring starts in September, and seasons astronomically speaking start on the shortest/longest day they are not centered around them. www.ncei.noaa.gov So depending which system you want to use there are different dates, but none of them start in August. In any case declare it spring if you like, no skin off my nose. |

| 1452249 | 2018-08-04 10:10:00 | As an ex commercial grower, I can say this is the warmest winter for years, my firewood stack does not lie. August in North Waikato usually had a dependable ten days to a fortnight of clear weather for planting Calla bulbs,so I'll be interested to see if that eventuates! |
