What is the best way to explain what a thaw is?

The thawed patches appear in the early spring, when the frosts have not fully retreated, and the warm breath of March is beginning to be felt. It was during this period that you already want to change heavy winter clothes to demi-season clothes. Everyone who lives in a region with a temperate climate knows what a thaw is, but quite often has no idea what it's called "scientifically."

Definition

It turns out that the thawed patch is a small thawing area, most often around the trees. This site stands out sharply against the background of the still- winter landscape, because thawed snow exposes the black wet earth. When patches appear, you can safely throw a woolen grandmother's scarf on a distant shelf, and carefully remove the winter coat very slowly. This phenomenon is observed everywhere where snow gets to: in fields, parks, plantations and groves. It seems to many that thawed patches symbolize a new life and hope, because they are the first news of spring along with the joyful singing of birds.

A fabulous spring and bright names

The meaning of some words is understandable, if only approximately because of their sound, and this can be said about the word "thawed patch". The lexical meaning of the word is guessed only at one glance at its root "tal", which already in itself is associated in man with spring and heat. Analogy can be carried out and with an erased metaphor "heart thawed." As everyone knows, this process means a positive outcome of the situation, because a person forgets grievances, releases them and turns the page of life. It can also mean that a person has felt empathy or felt compassion for someone. That's the way nature likes to feel at the beginning of spring and cover the ground with thawed patches. If a small child asked you what a thawed patch is, you can tell him that this spring is selected from under a snow blanket to cover the ground with green grass, foliage and bright flowers, replacing the one-ton winter.

About words and despair

Of course, thawed patches are not only in the snow. Any thawed frost, ice or frost localized area is also called that. For example, when a person breathes on a frozen glass, such a melting circle can form on its surface. Everyone knows from the very childhood that such a thawed patch, but each author gives a name to this phenomenon exclusively. The very word "thawed patches" can be found only in the poems of Russian classics, but certainly not in the everyday speech of modern youth. The word sounds a bit old-fashioned. Perhaps, very soon it will be replaced by an English analogue and will begin to be actively used, and the word "protalina" will sink into oblivion. It remains to be hoped that contemporaries will not erase this word from the Russian language for good, because it not only sounds beautiful, but also reflects the culture of a Russian-speaking person.

The importance of thawed patches

The earliest date for the appearance of thawed patches in the middle climatic zone is March 3. It is sad that before spring, flatly refuses to advance, and February "clings to the ground with teeth" and does not want to leave at all. By this time, people are already tired of the cold winds and frosts, and the first thawed patches are reacting with wild enthusiasm. They know perfectly well what a thaw is, although they do not call this phenomenon "officially". This means that very soon you will be able to walk without a hat, waving an unnecessary scarf, walking in an open coat and not worry that your lips are cracked with frost. At the same time, animals start to rejoice: birds start new songs, cats begin to show their noses to the street with pleasure, and the dogs become playful and even more friendly. The thawed patches are the first and most reliable sign of the onset of spring.
