Hello, I am wondering the same thing. I am in Westbrook, Maine and besides
worrying about all the bulbs that are sprouting too early, I'm wondering
which perennials will make it.  Doesn't it seem strange to see trees with
leaves still on them out there?  If you notice also, the grass is still
green under all the snow, what a strange year this has been!   Took a drive
through Gorham, Maine today and could not believe all the tree branches
that were down, no wonder they declared it a state of emergency!  Heard the
Maple Sugar Harvest may be down by about a half this year, so you all save
your bottles of Ant Jemima!  I'll let you know as time progresses how my
plants are doing, I have many bulbs, and perennials, and believe me, I'm as
anxious as you.   Cheers, Cheryl
