Default Daffodils

2 buds here in west midlands but snow as wel this morning only about 1 inch
though,
according to my records this cold snap is about 1 week later than last year,
must check previous years as well, recall one year going to London third
week in February by rail from the midlands left at 06-25 am got into London
about 14-30 ( normal journey time was 2 hours) and Temperature was
showing -12 centigrade/celsius at one factory on the route , points were
frozen, brakes on train froze on had 1 hour wait at B-ham International
while brakes were unfrozen.Missed my meeting but only 2 turned up, he stayed
in London overnight
Whilst we have had some bad cold spells not as cold as in the past.
I su[pose that this could be either global warming or normal cyclic weather
pattern.
I was watching a TV programme this week which took us back to mediaeval
times and suggested that dartmoor was habital in those times and several
degrees warmer than now, which throws doubt on following, and attributing
weather patterns to global warming alone.

Did anyone manage daffs in bloom for St David's Day?

I usually have some at least in bud that can be brought on inside in a
jamjar - but this year it's far too cold, not a single flower stem is
showing.

Snow *again* this morning...
