I have found the first snowdrop in a pot showing a flower but those in open ground, not a sign. The first daffs are still going strong after a month, the flowers are lasting well, the 2nd variety is now a few days from opening. David @ the sunny side of Swansea Bay Strange, here 40 miles inland and 700ft higher snowdrops have been out for a week or so now. Admittedly the are mostly under shrubs/hedges, but some are in open ground. Very few signs of the crocus crop though, but in the churchyard up the road there is a mass of those pale blue crocuses that come up without leaves. I'd love to get some of those, but would feel a little concerned about digging up anything in a graveyard. That takes me back! "The Adventure of the Luminous Lily" :-) Crocuses seem to be like that. A few of mine poke through together with the first few snowdrops showing white, then the sheltered snowdrops, then the open-ground ones, and much later the crocuses appear in quantity. Dunny why.
