Central Europe, 10°C - Bees and Wasps, shrubs and bushes are budding.
Which is a worry as a couple of months left of winter. Also a tendency these days for the colder/snow weather to be in the later part of winter/early spring.

#12I don't have a habit of checking temperature but felt like 15 degree here on Bulgaria. Spent most of the day outside and there were all kinds of insects flying around.
Guess the summer is going to suck. Either too hot or too cold.

#13This is good if you pay for energy in the UK. Prices have shot up recently, and there are fears that a lot of people will get surprised if the winter is chilly. Of course we've yet to see how it plays out.
Friends on mine in the energy business think it could get really really bad if it's cold.

There’s also stories flying around about hedgehogs coming out of hibernation early

#15Given the terrible problems we are having with energy prices, I will interpret this as God laying His hands upon us :P
Why? We seem to be doing a great job of punishing ourselves.

#16I see people talking about weather getting unpredictable.
This was predictable, and was predicted: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/. The technical summary is 160 pages and should be required reading for anyone over the age of 13: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6.... The Paris Agreement, for all its problems, tries to keep increase below 1.5 C over pre-industrial. We are locked in for 20-30 more years of increases like this if we stop emitting net CO2 in 5 years, best case. This is the beginning of global warming, it will be getting worse. I plan on retiring from software soon to devote the rest of my life to technical and political work to keep Earth habitable for subsequent generations while retaining the knowledge and technological progress made possible from the carbon age. Too many people in software - just my experience, and definitely not limited to software - have no concept of the orders of magnitude of energy involved and unreasonable expectations of other engineering fields to solve this problem. I hope more people will join me.

As far as I'm aware, the Bible does instruct the faithful Christian to look after god's creation. Considering the zeal of American Christianity, this has apparently been lost on many (i.e. the cold atheists in Europe are doing a better job).

I'm interested. Have you found anyone/an area who needs software developers?
