    One day 53 degrees here in Milwaukee...now 4" of snow yesterday. I think we have had MAYBE 8 inches all winter. We AVERAGE 100 inches per year...I am loving this, that's for sure.

    Trees and bushes are budding out here and it's cool and damp, spring-like but probably a cold snap is coming so it's too early to plant

    I wish-we are in the midst of a blizzard in Saskatchewan today!-high winds and 10-12 inches of snow in the forecast-not bringing the bike out for awhile yet

    My tulips are up (no flowers yet) and the daffodils are forming the flower heads. Daylilies are coming up all over and the trees are budding. Also had snow flurries this morning, but at 40 degrees outside nothing stuck, thank heaven!

    Have seen tulip greens sprouting in my courtyard garden at work. My garden is under a few inches of snow from the last few days. Am itching to get my hands dirty!

    I was on my thread mill (walking) and looked out the window to see an elephant ear (plant) about 4" high! I live in Northern Wisconsin, that was the 2-17-12. Never heard of it, but we had very little snow, don`t believe we ever needed
    to shovel. I dug it up, No frost in the ground, it now sits on the window sill and has 2 new leaves. I looked for daffidills & tulips, but didn`t see any. My DH & I are 77 & 72 yrs old, lived here all our lives and cannot remember a milder winter.

    We never had winter here is southern Ohio. I actually find the whole thing quite disturbing. The robins and Canada geese did not migrate this year and the crocuses are in full bloom. I've truly missed the magic of winter..the fresh cold air and snow. I'm so tired of looking at brown grass and mud. Everything just seems off.
