Have never been in the spring so can;t provide details. But I do know the winter is VERY long - and we were there 2nd week in September and temps were in the 40's a couple of days (had been 70 in Stockholm) and the locals were wearing their winter coats.
So check average temps - but be prepared with extra layers if necessary.

Traveling you should always dress as a "kapusta"(cabbage)- many layers. We had a wonderfully dry trip this past fall- the previous trip (same 2 weeks in the fall) it rained all day, every day. So one can never fairly guess.
I would imagine temps in the 50s on cold days, 60s-70s on warm days.
Russian spring/summer can be fabulous- definitely expect some nice sunny days, bring a light coat, comfortable walking shoes... lots of nice shops in Piter if you need to pick something up, too!!

Underhill: I wish I coud be of more assistance- for the most part, I use a Russian cookbook I bought in Moscow and one from Ukraine, as well. I will say that www.russianfoods.com has some traditional recipes that sound similar to the way I would make them.
Good luck- if you read Cyrillic, let me know- there are some others out there!
