Where is the Snow you speak of?

Nothing here 2 miles south of Dallas.

in Paulding?

Nah. The wind is blowing the white blossoms off the pear trees. Same size as snow flakes, though.

We had snow at Crossroads...fell on my windshield and melted. I did see lots of floaty blossoms, though.

I thought it was white blossoms too but it wasn't. I hope this will be the last cold snap. Hate the cold.

Nope. We still have "blackberry winter" to go through. That will start the flowering on the blackberry bushes, but it generally doesn't get cold enough for it to snow!

And that's usually in May.

Blackberry winter generally comes on the tail end of the Dogwoods blooming.

Easter is late this year, or the equinox. While freezing temps can kill vegetation the hours

of daylight generally cause growth or slow it down.

The weather systems aren't really tightly controlled by the angle of the planet. I think we will see some very warm days between now and Easter but you can't expect too much growth from

annuals and vegetables until after the equinox.

 

I am beyond ready to put the big hibiscus I wintered over in the house outside. It is simply to soon. It has to be well after Easter to safely put them out.

The dogwoods in my yard bloomed two weeks ago. Weren't we in temps reaching the upper 80s by May of the past 2 years?
