Yeah I've taken a few photos of snow covered daffodils and I'm seeing the stems/leaves sprouting up around the neighborhood.

We have a few thousand crocuses in our lawn and they started blooming a few weeks ago.. I'm slightly annoyed because it probably means we won't have a good spring showing. Daffodils are coming up everywhere too. It's too early.

I've been seeing some cherry/plum blossoms around as well.

It's definitely not unusual to have a big snow storm in late February or early March. I've been an educator for almost twenty years and I can think of at least a few times in my career we've gotten out multiple days for snow after Presidents Day. There was one big storm in early March 2009 I remember in particular that we were out like four days.

I like at least one good snow each year. It’s been a fairly boring and depressing winter.

I think it was Pete Humes who said (in the shortlived, but delightfully spicy, Brick periodical) "there are two things that journalists hone in on; fear, and weather, and it's almost ecstatic joy when they can combine them on a single topic..."
That's had space in my brain for a long time and I think about it periodically.

I'm hoping for snow at some point this winter. At least make it feel like this cold weather is worth it so I can make snowballs or a snow person or sled at least once this season.
But, so far, 2/10 does not give me hope that we'll see it next week.

Is it too early to load up on milk and bread? RIP egg budget

In spite of that crazy couple of sub teens cold days, we’ve had a seeming mild winter so far.

Cold-but-not-snow is the worst.

No, cold and snowing is the worst.

I respect your courage in saying such an incorrect thing with such conviction.

As someone who works outside... he's 100% correct! Cold is easy to deal with. Just wear more clothes. Cold and snow means getting wet. That always sucks.

I was just reassuring my grandmother yesterday that I asked for snow for my birthday (2/9).

no thanks. I'll be fine with no snow this winter.

This might not be the one, but this is still par for the course here.
Every year around this time I start to think we’re not getting any snow, but then I’m proven wrong in February or March.
