Your winter sounds as if it has been horrendous. My daughter has a friend in Pennsylvania and it has been -15 or worse for day after day. Your heating bills must be enormous. Though I suppose the snow is a good insulator.
All seems very odd because it has been unusually wet and warm here. There have been loads of problems with flooding and damage from ocean storms. Last night we had frost for the first time in weeks.
We had a very cold march last year my windowsills then were crammed full. But it seemed to get the apple trees cropping big time. This year it is so tempting to put things outside, yet our winter might still produce a sting in its tail. Though we are due a minor heatwave later in the week.
