What are your favourite things about the warmer weather/ arrival of Spring? Me -
Getting out the summer clothes
Not having to take a coat/ umbrella everywhere
Feeling the sun on my skin
Daffodils out
Being able to sit in a beer garden without freezing your bits off
Hot cross buns

All of the above plus the fact that everyone seems to be in a better mood.
Also the fact that hotties emerge from the ether!

Finishing work in daylight.
Putting all my sailing thermals back in the cupboard until next winter.
Being able to sit out on a boat somewhere with a cool drink watching the sun go down.

Are we confident there isn't a beast still to come?

Definitely no beasts, IMHO.
It was this time last year that we had the snow.
I remember particularly on 28th Feb, having to navigate lots of snow and slush in high heels in Covent Garden.

Oh I'm sure it's going to snow next week just to remind us it's still not quite March.

Yup, the Beast was end of Feb - to first week of March
I'm declaring the UK a Beast free zone until at least November :)

More sunlight.
Trees with leaves, flowers out (lots of daffs and crocuses seen on my way to work this morning)
Being able to go sailing!!!!
Being able to spend weekends at the beach or on a boat.
BBQs
Having the french doors open in the evening.
Downsides? The cats bring in more creatures and murder them in the living room.

I think there will be big snow in march (remember there was one mid march last year too)

You’re right about the timing of the beast - I remember it well as it was the week I gave up smoking. 362 days so far...! ?

This is Frankenweather brought to you by the generous carbon dioxide donations of General Motors, Exxon and the Chinese Communist Party …………
It should be freezing in February, not 16 degrees Celsius.

Don’t forget about the second mini beast. There was snow on the ground in mid March last year.
I reckon this is a false start to spring, but I’m taking the warm weather while it’s here.

I think I'm on packet 4 of hot x buns in 2 weeks - oops.
More for the list after the weekend's antics -
Thames path bike rides with no fear of getting rained/ snowed on
Eating lunch outside
Everyone seems happier
It's an excuse to buy new cothes for a seasonal wardobe update
