We seem to be getting an old-fashioned winter here, so while all my Snowdrops have sprouted, I fear I won't see any blooms til February, even if I dig out the snow to see them.

Me, I'm happy that this year I'll actually have some to look for (eventually), newly planted this fall, and now somewhere beneath more than 2 feet of New Hampshire snow. Well spotted – lucky you.

Another 8 inches of snow greeted us this morning with well over 2 feet on the ground now. But it was nice to see those buds poking up. I'll be waiting for the flower photos. You tease.

The earliest I have ever had a snowdrop bloom was February. Don, if my snowdrops ever bloom before yours, I will take that as incontrovertible proof that the climate is irredeemably messed up. You would be surprised at how fast two feet of snow can disappear and how much growing those snowdrops do under snow cover.
