Looking good Alexandra, flowers pokin through here today too. The temperature certainly drops off quick in the afternoon though! Make sure you cover any plants that are frost sensitive as it looks like this week will be the most prolonged frosty period we have all winter (even though it is technically spring!). Do you know the last time we had a sustained period of high pressure like this it was last September!!! Jet stream ever since!

I was below freezing over night which got the layer on the ground, but managed to warm up a bit above freezing to keep the day long flurries from accumulation any more. The raw east wind was the worst part of the day.
More than normal here, and for another month before I write the snow off for the season
