Vårtecken = signs of spring

Spring officially starts when it has been plus-degrees for more than 7 consecutive days (even if it means 1 degree). This happened a few weeks back. The rising temperatures and more sun hours trigger signs of spring such as: use of roller skates, opening of ice cream bars, abandonment of winter clothing, the occasional sight of bare legs and the return of migratory birds from Africa. And did I forget to mention flowers growing?
