Default Trivia question - how do you define the first day of spring ?

Not sure what to expect here, we arrived on 1 April last year and it was cold and wet with 8 days of snow falling.
February has been mild here and a couple of amazing days. The birds are more active and as I sit outside here, a woodpecker is hammering away about 30m away.
I have seen photos here of snow on the ground in October and also 27 May in 2013, but equally we can have days around 20c in March, so all to play for!

DM. 740m. La Moratille. Corrèze. France.
