Some of the first signs of spring in Finland is the increase in temperature...the sun is higher and warmer...there is more day light throughout the day (yay for not being pitch-black by 3pm!) and the ice cream truck cruises around.
Another sign is the 1st of March! According to the Finns I was knitting with on Tuesday, the 1st of March is considered the first day of Spring. Regardless of the fact that there may be still frozen lakes, piles of snow and trucks still shipping out snow to somewhere...
Because their spring and summer is quite short - Finns embrace the on-coming of spring full on.
Oh and something I never noticed on the 1st of March was the sweet sound of birds chirping! That's a "sure sign" of Spring arriving.
