That's about all I've seen this winter. The Chicago area has received virtually no snow. Just bleak landscape that is waiting for spring.

We have had a dusting of snow this morning, enough to look pretty on the trees, not enough to grind traffic to a halt thankfully! Spring is showing itself already, our Bluebell bulbs are poking through the soil already.

I saw a snow drop blooming and a pair of geese the other day and was thinking these are signs of spring to start watching for.

Gary (Arundel UK), Here in the South of England unbelievably 8 degrees by latitude further North than Boston, we had our 1st snow of the season this morning all gone by lunchtime.
Its been incredibly wet through 2012, right up until NY, but have broad beans, garlic and onions 3 inches high, also the weeds are growing like its spring, but its just to wet to get on the plot
