alright!!! I personally think that Mom's Nature isn't thru with us. I've
seen snow on the dogwood blossoms before. We've gotten inches of rain so
far, but it's not beyond my thoughts that we get a spring snow. I would be
surprised if we didn't get one before the middle of April. (I ain't wishing,
just remarking) I was actually glad we got snow and cold this year instead
of the non-winter like weather we've gotten these last years. It just
didn't feel right. I tend to think 58o is a nice temperature. That's what
it was last week for us and I enjoyed it. Is it me or are winter's just not
"normal" like they were decades ago? (ain't trying for flaming here, just
curious)

madgardener glad you got a start on your spring too......

crocuses are tough, they will endure come a cold snap (we're not near
out
of
the woods here in Eastern Tennessee, and it got up to 72o today.......)

A few hundred miles up the ridge from you (Eastern Panhandle of WV) it
only
made 58o, but that was enough to shrink the snow cover by half. Two clumps
of crocuses and the first daffodil spears appeared. At last. And some
leeks
in my garden bed, which, now in their third year, have finally grown as
thick as a person's thumb.
