With temperatures a staggering 37 degrees lower than they were on the first day of spring last year, The Star hit the streets to find out if Windsorites still like the cold or if they’re ready for Mother Nature to move on to spring.
“I’m more of a spring and fall person actually,” said Colleen Warren while sitting with her friend Jerri White at the bus stop. “I’m enjoying the cold as long as it doesn’t snow.”
Ikram Mohamed, on the other hand, said she’s more than ready for spring to make its appearance.
“I have kids, so it would be nice if they can play at the playground without freezing to death,” she said.
Byron Klingbyle agreed, adding that as winter drags on, the winter blues start to get to everyone.
“I have a pool too, and I can’t wait to get in it, so that kind of prolongs it,” he said.

Penny Madge had no hesitation, saying “the snow is awful, I thought by now we would have nice hot weather.”
Much of Canada seems to be feeling a last gasp of winter, including Eastern Ontario, which in some places saw upwards of 14 cm of snow on Tuesday – the last official day of winter.
