Dear Wang Mei, It isn't snowing today, but there is still snow on the grass. In Edmonton, the weather in March can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny. It's a little wild. The temperature can be as low as -15℃, but it can also reach 15℃. Still, sometimes it snows in April and May! The temperature drops below zero on those snowy days. We probably won't see any flowers until May or June! After school today, we played outside. We played 'snow' soccer. We had to wear our jackets and boots, but it was fun. Danny fell into the snow! Maybe next month we will play in our shorts and T-shirts! I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It's interesting. Here, we have Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. In spring, many families drive to the countryside on weekends. A popular place to go is a sugar bush. It's so much fun to make syrup. I love spring because of all the fun activities. Also, summer follows it! Talk to you soon! Jenny 翻译：亲爱的王梅， 今天天没下雪，但是草地上仍然有雪。在埃德蒙顿，3月的天气可能寒冷多雪或温暖晴朗。天气有点狂暴。气温可能低至零下15℃，但是也可能达到15℃。然而，在4月和5月有时还会下雪！在那些下雪天，气温降到零度以下。直到5月或6月，我们才能看到一些花！ 今天放学后，我们在外面玩。我们玩“雪”球。我们必须穿着夹克衫和靴子，但还是很开心。丹尼摔倒在雪地上了！也许下个月我们就会穿短裤和T恤衫玩了！ 我喜欢迎春花的中文名字。它很有趣。在这里，我们在2月份举行土拨鼠节来迎接春天的来临。在春天，许多家庭在周末开车去乡下。一个很受欢迎的去处就是枫糖林。做糖浆非常好玩。 因为所有好玩的活动，我喜欢春天。而且，夏天就跟在它后面呢！ 一会儿跟你聊！ 詹妮

Culture Tip 翻译：文化提示

Groundhog Day is on February 2. On that day, a small animal called a groundhog comes out of a hole in the ground. If it sees its shadow, then spring won't come for another 6 weeks. But if the groundhog does not see its shadow, then spring is very close. How does a groundhog know? It doesn't! It's just a very old tradition in North America. 翻译：土拨鼠节是在2月2日。在那天，一只名叫土拨鼠的小动物会从地下的洞里钻出来。如果它看见了自己的影子，那么春天在接下来的6个星期都不来。但是如果土拨鼠看不见它的影子，那么春天就很接近了。土拨鼠是怎么知道的呢？它不知道！这只是在北美的一个古老的传统。
