Hey Dennis, congrats on early bloom, but I'm jealous of your insulating blanket of snow. We had 3ºF this morning and forecasted for 0ºF tonight, just a light dusting of the white stuff here.

However I've been enjoying snow crocus for a month, galanthus (snowdrops) are at peak bloom now. Lots of retics have foliage up but no buds. Some junos are up a couple inches. Supposed to warm up next week and I can access the damage done by the cold snap.
