Temperatures have been delightful since the first day of Spring, but don't get used to it just yet... Although Spring has arrived and the winter of 2014 is theoretically no longer, unfortunately the Vernal Equinox will be bringing us sleet, with temperatures expected to dip to the low 30s and more snow is being forecast for this week.

It's like the James Bond Movie, From Russia with Love.
Russia and Crimea tied the knot, but they forget to get registered at the courthouse in Ukraine. Instead, Vladimir Putin and Crimean leaders decided to sign an official adoption treaty with the consent of parliament.
