All in all we've had a pretty cold spring so far with temperatures still below zero during nights, which slows down the snow melting speed...
...but days become considerably longer (4 hours of more daylight only last month!) plus warmer with an average temperature of approx. +6 °C during the days...
May 6: sunrise 3:38am, sunset 9:46pm
...and open water can be seen again where there has been snow and ice for the last 6 months...
...still lots of snow left to walk on...
...on a snowmobile track...
