I sympathize. We had three major snowstorms in February--over a meter of snow was on the ground at one point! But now the daytime temperatures are well above freezing and the snow is almost all gone. (Unfortunately, we have no green yet--most of the vegetation looks brown, but it's an improvement over the snow!)
Hang in there and I'm sure you'll have spring soon.
I can understand dreading hot summer, but spring in Milan should be a totally wonderful thing, no? Gentle, warm breezes, the first coffee sitting outside, mild evenings for a stroll in the dusk...
And I think that I wouldn't feel the prolonged winter so keenly if we hadn't had that warm spot inbetween here. The first crocuses and snowbells were out already, and now it's all white again!
