    Snowdrops and narcissus are pushing up through the mulch. Spring hasn’t srprung but it does look like it is well on its way!

    Janet M Roderick says

    Spring is nowhere in sight. It’s been a weird winter though, little snow, only a couple of nights below zero.

    Shirley says

    Nice enough to be working out outside in the flower beds. Which is so surprising for this time of the year for our area. Keep this up will have to mow the yard. I am loving it.

    Linden Smith says

    Spring? What is that? Not here yet, by a long shot. But then again, I live in Kevin’s neck of the woods (i.e. upper Hudson Valley). The moment it is possible to get out and start clearing u the garden, that is where I will be. In the meantime, my kitchen colors are green and white, so a green KitchenAid mixer would be perfect since the one I inherited from my grandmother-in-law (a 1928 model) has decided to stop working….

    AllisonK says

    While temps are supposed to get up to the mid-30s for a few days this weekend, spring here in Fargo is still a LONG way off (April, at least), no matter what that pesky groundhog predicted!

    Merry Mindy says

    The snow has melted, but it is VERY cold here in western PA. Today’s high was 31. On a positive note, our daffodils are about 3″ to 4″ tall, which gives us hope. 🙂

    Arvella says

    Still Lots of snow here in Northern Michigan (100 miles south of Mackinaw Bridge). Today bitter cold winds and blowing snow. End of May usual for planting but I do plan on getting seeds started indoors very soon. Purchased a second fluorescent LED fixture today.

    We’ve not really had much of a winter… My daffodils have popped through the ground, but it’s supposed to go down to 17 degrees tonight. Green is my favorite color! Thank you for the opportunity!

    Diana Ryman says

    What a beautiful mixer! I’ve always wanted a KitchenAid. In Ohio we’ve had an extremely light winter. Today it’s about 25 degrees and tomorrow is supposed to be nearly 50! My daffodils are just popping out of the ground, but we’re sure to get a couple more snows before we see a real Spring!

  40. 40

    Anne O'Malley says

    We moved from Cleveland to Austin – big season change! Two pair of Western Wood Peewees are already nesting near our back porch and singing us awake every morning. It’s too early for planting for just right for spring clean up.

    It depends on the day. I live in Texas and winter fights with summer for dominance. We go from 80 to 30 every few days.

    Had a sunny day and decided to turn over the soil in my flower tubs. Lo and behold, I found some thyme from last year showing green shoots. Gave me immediate spring fever!

  46. 46

    Teri Finegan Dalco says

    ‘d love a bonny green mixer for St Paddy’s day! I never got more than Half an inch of snow this year south of Boston. Friends have their crocuses and snowdrops in full bloom, but not mine yet. And it was 14 degrees when I went to work this morning! but will be 50 on Sunday.

    The weather here is trying to decide what it wants to do. Having just returned from 4 days on the west coast, I’m hoping to see the numbers roseinto the 60s and 70s SOON!

  63. 63

    Joyce Falvo says

    The snow here in Western Canada is almost gone, but there not too much in the way of spring here yet. It will start to feel like spring when I see my first robin.

  65. 65

    Annette says

    Spring? We’re just experiencing winter here in the Deep South. This past week has felt like a sweat-a-thon, until this morning. I was so excited to wake up to an outside temp of 45. I just wish we could hang onto it a little longer.

  66. 66

    Candace Geary says

    In Bernalillo, NM, we are currently without snow. Lots of other areas in NM have it though. We are at 5,700′ above sea level here. Once you get past 7,000, there is plenty of snow. Taos and the other ski areas are still going strong. We have rain and snow in the forecast for the weekend. Sunday will be the best chance of snow. We had no idea when we moved here, how much snow that we would get in NM!

  70. 70

    Stacy says

    Some signs of spring in Western PA. Longer daylight in evenings, hellebores, snow drops and crocus peeping up. Keeping eye on my witch hazel to bloom soon.

  71. 71

    Javier says

    We have snow and cold winter weather but it keeps alternating w/spring like weather. I miss winter sniff.

  72. 72

    Kaori says

    Hi Kevin, I thought spring has sprung in my neck of the woods but it quickly changed its mind and we still get hard frost overnight. I’ve been ready for spring planting but I guess I’d have to wait till March from the looks of it. Thank you for hosting a fantastic giveaway. Regards, From BC, Canada.

  73. 73

    Tia Carney says

    In my NE corner of OH it is very frigid and the only snow that is around is piles from places being plowed! But remember in OH we can have all four seasons in the same day! LOL! Thanks for asking.

  74. 74

    Angie says

    In west central Indiana, it was 17 yesterday and will be 47 tomorrow. It was in the 50’s two weeks ago and then down to 0 last week. Spring is very fickle around here.

  77. 77

    Anita White says

    All the rain suggests spring, but the temperature does not. Maybe the groundhog was drunk. LOL- Georgia

  84. 84

    Valerie A Holmes says

    Spring started 2 weeks ago here in Southeastern CT! Daffodils poked through the soil and now stand 3″ tall. Historically warm winter has been awesome.

  87. 87

    Cynthia in Ohio says

    No snow right now, but cold. My crocus have little shoots coming up, but March usually has at least one snowfall, so I wish I could tell them to go back down for a few more weeks!

  88. 88

    Mary says

    We’re up and down here in west Michigan. It’s predicted to be in the 40’s today and up to 46 by Monday. Then back down with snow for next week. So we have spring one day and winter the next. Sort of the way it’s been all winter.

  89. 89

    Jeane says

    Looks like early spring here in Virginia- tulips are coming up, trees are budding and I saw forsythia blooming on a sheltered slope. Still very cold at night, though.

  90. 90

    M Daniela Cirillo says

    Here Cheektowaga NY, still winter, example now is very chill … but I believe Spring coming soon!

  94. 94

    Mary says

    I live in Missouri, and next week sounds like we will be expecting snow, I’m definitely ready for spring, I love this green Kitchen-Aid and would love to win it.

  95. 95

    Suzanne Robinson says

    In Tennessee it is hard to say exactly when winter is over and spring begins.
    We are currently snowless but next week the forecasted high on Tuesday is 63 and on Thursday the high is expected to be 39.

  96. 96

    Kathy from Cold Climate Gardening says

    The driveway is a sheet of ice and the lawn is covered with snow except for the one foot right up against the house, a heat sink where the sun shines and melts the snow soonest. In this exact location I have some winter aconites on the verge of blooming. Showing yellow but not erect.

  98. 98

    Grazyna says

    It has been a strange winter. From below zero to 40+ within a day. Not much snow but lots of ice because we had freezing rain a couple of times followed by snow and sleet. Spring is nowhere in sight though there were reports of Maple syrup running.

  99. 99

    Robert Barr says

    Not quite spring in Southwest Florida. A couple of more cold fronts with potential for freezing temps at night.

  100. 100

    Patricia Cremens says

    Most of the snow has melted here in Central Massachusetts. The next several days include temperatures in the 50s. We should be seeing more green!

  101. 101

    Anna Garza says

    The miniature daffodils, crocus and grecian windflowers are all blooming.
    This tells me Spring is around the corner in Tacoma, WA.

  102. 102

    Angelique Holmes says

    The Amaryllis Belladonna, naked ladies, are peeking out. The rest of my garden is asleep.

  105. 105

    Liz Jones says

    Looking forward to Spring! It’s cold here but no snow on the ground, unfortunately ice covering the driveway and areas of the yard. Assessing all the winter clean up ahead of me ~

  108. 108

    Rose says

    It looks and feels like spring here today. The sun s shining, the birds are singing and spring is springing!

  109. 109

    Judy Brown says

    Spring! However, we could really use more rain here in the California foothills of the Sierra.

  111. 111

    Beth says

    Employment relocated us to FL last year, so spring is now something we do not necessarily experience. The smells of thawing earth, budding flowers, and fresh rain are missed very much!

  113. 113

    Crystal says

    We have daffodils blooming and hyacinths popping up, but then got a 1-day sprinkle of snow. This Michigan girl is loving Carolina winter!

  114. 114

    Beverly Widner says

    Spring is almost here in Coppell, TX! I just mowed the yards today…mostly unwanted green spiky things!

  116. 116

    Valerie Gullang says

    Winter never really came. We did have a bit of frost before the day heated up to 60 degrees today. The trees have already started sprouting leaves, and the great horned owls are hooting away each night. Love is in the air.

  117. 117

    GLENN says

    Here in Orlando, Florida, it’s spring-like weather now (mid-February) – safe to plant seeds/seedlings outside. Then we zoom to blazing summer in the blink of an eye!

  118. 118

    Sarah Devantier says

    Well, snow hasn’t fallen lately, but there is still lots that needs to melt, so spring is a ways off yet. It got up to 8 degrees today (celcius), so I have hope

  119. 119

    Sara says

    Still winter here, although we have enjoyed some mild weather. Waiting for the next snowfall…

  120. 120

    Donna Whitley says

    We’ve had our first snowfall. It was lovely. The snow only lasted two days and the roads are dry. Perfect!

  121. 121

    Karen L. says

    Well, first it was spring weather with buds trying to bloom. Then we had a lovely snow fall and it got cold but now it is warming up again and the snow has mostly melted. Welcome to central NC! Never know what is going to happen.

  122. 122

    Meghan Girroir says

    In PA, spring has arrived, I think. The daffodils certainly think so. Although I am enjoying the weather, I find it a bit unnerving.

    It’s a warm weekend in Maine, a little mud actually showing in between ice and snow today. I know it is fake spring, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

  124. 124

    isabellagarden says

    Hints of spring this weekend in Maine with temperatures in the 40s, but still a lot of snow and ice to melt. And of course we’ll be getting more snow. We always do, right into April.

  126. 126

    MaryAnn says

    Never had a winter! All of my early bulbs are popping their heads up and greeting an early Spring. Can’t wait to plant my garden!

  127. 127

    Linda Dobson says

    Spring “like” here today but still winter in Southern Ontario! Sun is shining bright but cold!

  128. 128

    Cheryl says

    Spring tries during the day sometimes, but it’s still cold at night. Iris are just poking their heads up, but nothing else. I can’t wait for it to be a steady 50 and above!

  130. 130

    Susan Searle says

    Spring is Sprung! Here in the south-eastern UK it’s been extremely mild and I have roses in bud, narcissi galore and the prunus trees are flowering. Planting my potatoes next weekend.

  131. 131

    Carol Schaudt says

    It’s been so warm this winter, in the Houston, TX area that my lettuce greens are already bolting. I’m almost ready to turn them into compost and replant.

  132. 132

    Kathleen Zanotti says

    Out in the yard yesterday with the snowdrops and snow tucked into shady corners. Felt so wonderful to lift the leaves to find daffodil leaves starting to poke up and feeling the cycle of gardening has never agin started!

  133. 133

    Sharon Hull says

    Spring arrived right on schedule earlier this month, here on California’s Central Coast. All the ornamental plums and deciduous magnolias are in full bloom and the birds are singing on territory, with the hummingbirds already on nests. Beautiful balmy temps but we badly need rain so keeping fingers crossed…

  135. 135

    Sharon says

    Here in south Louisiana the trees are in full spring bud, the temps are very moderate, the geese fly northward overhead in the early mornings, and my begonias are about ready to come out of their temporary winter shelter. Spring is definitely here.

  136. 136

    Irene Wilkinson says

    It’s still raining here in Southern California. It is supposed to reach 80 degrees this coming week though. Time to start planting soon.

  140. 140

    Nan says

    The daffodils are up, the robins are busy, and green leaves are appearing on the beautiful coastal trails of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey! Yay!

  141. 141

    Cheryl says

    Spring is shouting quietly right now in Northern Indiana. Birdsong is changing, small crocus are starting to pop. Small amounts of snow on the ground in shady areas, soon to be gone I hope!

  143. 143

    Linda Kalbler says

    Still snow on the ground here in Minnesots. But warm weather today mid 40’s today. Then back to normal low teens upper 30’s. But soon it will be spring.

  144. 144

    Arlene says

    Green and sunny here in West Palm Beach Florida. High 70’s – 80 everyday. Lucky to be a snowbird. Can’t wait to get home in mid-April and enjoy another rebirth of my glorious gardens!!!

  145. 145

    Martha Robinson says

    We still have 2 feet of snow here in Prince Edward Island, Canada.Will start to see crocuses in April, maybe. I love your newsletter. Thanks.

  146. 146

    Jen Roddie says

    It’s cold out here in West Texas, yet my Lady Banks have just begun to bloom – a lovely touch of yellow!

  150. 150

    Kathy says

    Signs of spring: dirty melting snow, neighbors sans jackets walking their dogs on a 40 degree day and birds singing their spring songs. But winter still has a grip on Minnesota.

  151. 151

    jackie serba says

    oh my gosh I wish spring was here. I live in south east WI and we are getting more snow on Tuesday. YUKKKKK!!!! March for me is the longest month in history..can’t wait till its over.

  152. 152

    Juanita says

    Hosting a St. Patrick’s Day concert on the outdoor patio. Spring is popping up its head and the sun is with us daily. My garden is ready to blossom.

  153. 153

    Cam Koerber says

    Well as usual in Kansas, we had snow last week and 57 degrees today, lots of influenza A popping up and can’t help but wonder if the weather doesn’t perpetuate it! Can’t wait to start planting!

  155. 155

    Judith Woods says

    In bloom now here on the Florida panhandle are my redbuds, camellias, Chickasaw plum, viburnums, Magnolia x ‘Jane’ and some lovely daffodils. We’ll probably get another frost or two, but the sunshine is here to stay.

  156. 156

    Johanna says

    After a dismal winter with no snow, I hang on to the hope of at least one substantial snow storm. That being said, the crocus are blooming, the daffodils are pushing through, and two woodpeckers are competing (not sure if that is a spring thing, though).

    Thanks for the offer, Kevin!

  157. 157

    Trilby says

    The snow is mostly melted. The air is brisk and there is no green emerging yet but Spring is ready to breakthrough. We can feel it.

  158. 158

    Janet says

    Northern Wisconsin still 4 feet of white stuff! Probably the most snow yet to come… thanks for the mixer giveaway Kevin! Off to buy seeds for winter sowing

  159. 159

    Nancy says

    Spring is in the air – leaves of bulbs – and not just Snowdrops – peeking through – hopefully no more heavy snows as in one recent year when the daffs were so big and beautiful until a late snow ended their glory.

  162. 162

    Michelle Roberts says

    Going to feel like spring today and tomorrow here in the Hudson Valley but than the cold returns after that.

  163. 163

    Karen Vogel says

    Karen. I have daffodils and tulips pushing through! I also have 20° temperature nights. And may have a little snow next week in southern Indiana .

  164. 164

    Susan says

    Never really felt like winter I the mid Atlantic and never any snow to dig out from! Temps in the 50s!

  165. 165

    LilyGrace says

    Today, the sun is smiling — always a good thing. A better thing is the geranium that has been sitting in my window all winter has started to bloom– in fact, that geranium whispered, in her very lovely voice, that spring is on it’s way.

  166. 166

    Sue says

    It’s still winter in WISCONSIN. We had about one foot of snow on the ground but it has melted a little due to 40’s yesterday. With the sun shining and the snow sparkling it’s perfect for a long walk and fresh air!

  168. 168

    Karen Stewart says

    The usual February camellia show. Daphne peaked, forsythia out, snowy white evergreen clematis covering the fence, and daffodils dotting the garden. All somewhat early but this may be a false spring …..or maybe not.

  169. 169

    Jane Palmer says

    Still lots of snow (and Ice) here in Nova Scotia. It’s been a very stormy winter, definitely looking forward to spring and getting back into the gardens.

  171. 171

    Kathy says

    Still plenty of snow here in NH.
    I’ve been gardening for 40 yrs and am trying winter sowing for the first time! Thanks to hearing about it from you – I’m excited!

  172. 172

    Ann says

    Spring is supposed to peek out today, just for a day or two. AND, birds are beginning their songs if only briefly!

  174. 174

    Sandy Bridenthal says

    More sunshine and less snow = mud in NE Ohio. I don’t believe winter is done with us yet but that gorgeous green would certainly brighten my kitchen.

  175. 175

    Leslie A Wrightington says

    The days are starting to get warmer but I still have to bundle up to go outside. It shouldn’t be long now before everything starts bursting into color.

  178. 178

    Sandra Paul says

    Here in central Texas, we awake to a new season every day. Up into the 80’s a couple of days then highs in the 30’s or 40’s the next. We have peach trees that want to bud. We never know what to wear either. Whatever the weather brings I embrace it because tomorrow will be different.

  180. 180

    Sandra Lindberg says

    The daffodils are poking out of the ground and the grass is greening up. Can’t wait!

  182. 182

    Pamela McRae says

    Here in N.C. we can’t be sure of the weather from morning till night. We have icy windshields at dawn and daffodils bravely waving until the sun warms them up. I say, spring is here, even though we had snow two days ago.

  183. 183

    Hortensia says

    It’s always spring time in South FL, LOL! more like summer year round. My Pentas and Aloe plants are in bloom.

  184. 184

    Sue says

    With some 50 to 60 degree days and sometimes 25 to 30 degree days, and one snowfall that melted by afternoon, I’d have to say it’s more like “SPRINTER” here!

  187. 187

    kathleen says

    Spring? today its 50 already but we may get snow on tuesday. Good day to get the last of the leaves out of my garden

    Nearly snowless winter for us, very uncharacteristic.
    No single digits in the overnight temperatures yet!
    My fig tree remains unwrapped.

    Still a nice thick snowpack over here in central NY. At least there has been more sunshine! All ordered seeds have arrived so I have spring in my heart!

  192. 192

    Kathy says

    Buds on the hellebores, daffodils up an inch or two, and snowdrops –always my first harbingers of spring– have been blooming for about 2 weeks already here in southeastern PA–YIPEE!!!!

    Karen Mary says

    We still have plenty of snow here in the Midwest. I brought spring to my desk with some new African violets, though. /Users/karenmiles/Desktop/IMG_3324.JPG
    What a beautiful mixer! Thanks for the chance to win her!

  194. 194

    Kathryn Reilly says

    First snow of the season fell Thursday night, but because we’re in beautiful North Carolina it doesn’t stay for very long….Now my beautiful daffodils are blooming, spring flowering trees are flowering, and soon I will be eating my gorgeous giant ruby red mustard and rainbow chard that I have been growing in pots outside all winter!!!! Love spring, but would love that mixer as well!!!!

  195. 195

    Ingrid Di Lorenzo says

    Nothing that really makes me sing ‘yes, it’s spring’.
    We have snow with a hard crust on top here in my little corner of southern Ontario, Canada.

    temps in the 50’s today Feb.23 in Connecticut. Hellebores, snow drops, aconite , witch hazel all in bloom……crazy right? There is no global warming!!

    It fells like spring here in Eastern Nebraska but I know that we probably still have a good snowfall or two left. March may follow the rule of coming in like a lamb and leaving like a lion!

  201. 201

    Stacie Steele says

    We had a bit of snow earlier this week in Williamsburg, Virginia, but I was direct sowing seeds (onions & lettuce) in my garden yesterday!!

  202. 202

    Judith Reiter says

    Some pink flowering trees in DC are in flower. The cherry blossoms will certainly be very early.

    Linda C Cramp says

    I have the seed catalogs out, old seeds out and getting neighbor 8 year old girl planting seeds with me. I LOVE spring! The sun room is warming with more sunny days, getting ready for all my seedlings! I LOVE the promise of those 60 degree days and putting my hands back in the soil!!!!!! Winter done or not, spring is coming slowly as the brunt of the frigid days are over!!! SW Pa. !

  204. 204

    Darlene says

    We had a 44 degree day yesterday and today, that is spring-like weather for Minnesota! Hopefully it will be an early beautiful spring this year!

  205. 205

    Katherine D. says

    Mixed weather here in northeast Ohio. Some days wicked cold and others, like today, in the high 40s. Only a few small snowfalls this year in my neighborhood. Looking forward to spring.

  207. 207

    Robin says

    I would say “still digging out from the latest snowfall”. In Salina, Ks it’s been a fairly mild winter, warm days enough to make us itch to dig in the dirt, but enough cold snowy days to keep the ground totally saturated or frozen. Right now the ground is wet but I have planted seeds that need a winter, put seeds out under cover in cold frames and have had many warm days to get garden projects done outside. Using your recipes to keep us warm on chilly nights.

  208. 208

    Mary says

    Going to be 41 degrees today in north central Wisconsin! Snow arriving on Tuesday. Pussy willows are starting to bloom! Love all the seasons.

  209. 209

    Ruth says

    Winter apparently just got here. We had a temperature drop and a few inches of snow that is still hanging around after 3 days. Maybe the groundhog was right after all. 🙂

  210. 210

    Sarah Nowicki says

    Here in Nashville Tennessee, there are croci and daffodils starting to pop up, and a friend of mine saw cranes migrating north. We have faith again.

  211. 211

    Judy says

    Temperate weather much of winter outside of Philadelphia….but….last 2 years we got hit with winter weather 1st 2 weeks of March!

  212. 212

    Debby S. says

    Hard to tell. One day it’s 50 degrees, and the next day it’s 12. Some snow on the ground and no buds in sight.

  213. 213

    Diane says

    40’s and 50’s today but more snow this week in Iowa. Can’t wait until warmer weather. I’ve been going to greenhouses to get my fix!

  215. 215

    Dale Gasque says

    In the Shenandoah Valley, cold, cold, cold nights this past week in the teens and twenties, but my witch hazel and Lenton roses are in bloom and the daffodils are poking out of the ground. I’m inside packing for a move to a new house, though, and dreaming of new gardens.

  216. 216

    SueEllen says

    It has been a light winter here in Northern Mississippi. Daffodils are blooming so Spring thinks
    its time has come 😀
    Thank you Kevin. I so enjoy your weekly posts.

  217. 217

    candi baker says

    we had a nice little snow last week and alittle ice…now it is just cold and windy…hoping for Spring soon !!

  219. 219

    Christina Giordano says

    No spring weather as of Feb 23rd in Albany, NY. We’re all looking forward to warmer temps this week, though.

  222. 222

    Pat Greenleaf says

    Happy Spring, Kevin.

    My daffodils and hyacinths are in full bloom. My tomato seedlings (the pampered things) go outside for their daily “hardening off” while they await their big planting day.

    May you always have sunshine.

  223. 223

    Katee Murphy says

    Driving up from Florida, back to snowy NewYork. But it’s supposednto be mild this week in our region. It was nice to see all the flowers and palm trees this time of year!

  224. 224

    Angie says

    Crocus in bloom here in Kansas City since February first…although they’ve hidden under snow and ice a few days since then! Happy approaching spring, everyone! And happy Irish Month, as I call the six weeks between Feb 15 and March 31st!

  225. 225

    Kim Luna says

    The weather here has been so crazy we don’t know whether to scratch our watches or wind our butts. But some day lilies are springing up and very pretty! Thanks Kevin for the chance to win!!

  226. 226

    Jennifer says

    No snow here, unfortunately! Unseasonal warm winter with spring temps and occasional chilly (below 32 degrees) nights.

  228. 228

    Carmen says

    It is -4 C here in Ottawa. The canal is closed to skating at the moment, but it will probably snow again on Wednesday. Happy St Pat’s Day, but first – Shove Tuesday and pancakes!

  229. 229

    Liz Z. says

    Our Spring flowers are starting to emerge from under the snow. But when I hear the Springpeepers then I know Spring is here!!!

  237. 237

    Trinka says

    Indeed, spring is here in southern Connecticut…
    Snowdrops abound On forest paths and the chip and chatter of birds doesn’t stop!

  239. 239

    Jennifer McComb says

    We’re finally getting a few days of sunshine and temps in the high 30s, low 40s, so I am tentatively declaring spring is here in Central Wisconsin!

  240. 240

    Tina says

    Crocus and daffs have been blooming for two weeks and tulips are pushing up here in Southern Delaware. While I would love for it to be Spring, I’m not holding my breath…

  244. 244

    Eileen says

    My daffodils were up 6 inches but now laying down from the cold…
    Here in Missouri. Seeing tiny buds on trees. Snow in two days.
    Also, a yellow and purple crocus out my door! Yay!

  246. 246

    Luanna Stewart says

    We still have a bit of snow on the ground here in Nova Scotia, but with an expected high of 7C today, a good bit of that will disappear. I did see buds on the willow trees, though, so spring is nigh!

  247. 247

    Cincy Woods says

    The yardstick (our official snow measuring device, ha!) shows 20” of snow & it’s snowing lightly this morning in the foothills west of Denver, CO. Long way to go before seeing any green on the ground. Green on the countertop would be a welcome sight! Thanks for another fun giveaway!

  250. 250

    Melissa says

    In Northwest Arkansas, we vacillate between spring and the bitterness of winter on a daily basis.

  252. 252

    Susan says

    An unusually mild winter has me looking forward to spring. Mid 50’s expected today but cooler, stormy weather in the forecast for later this week.

  253. 253

    Susan says

    It’s definitely more springlike in the DC-area. No real snow! *sob* So if that’s the case, let’s go spring.

  254. 254

    Rosemarie says

    Hardly any snow this winter here in CT! Today the temps will be in the 50’s and the sun is shining. Spring appears to be just around the corner!

  258. 258

    GinaG says

    In Nebraska it can be Spring today but winter tomorrow. Last week it was 52 degrees one day, -5 the next.

    We have a saying here…if you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes

  259. 259

    Beth Storrs says

    Supposed to be 50 degrees in the middle of Massachusetts today— is very odd and spring-like, but I suspect it is just a tease.

  260. 260

    Rebekah says

    It’s been upsy-downsy here by the Delaware River in Central NJ—one day warm, one day freezing, then back again. Tiny tips of green poke out of the ground and halt there. My windowsills, though, are all abloom! So I’ll say not quite and I hope Spring brings more consistency for all the outdoor growing things!

  261. 261

    Ronnie says

    Cold still in North Georgia, but daffodils blooming! Down in the 20s at night and up in the 50s during the day. I enjoy cold weather so am in no hurry for spring and summer!

  262. 262

    Rhonda says

    It’s a mild minus 14 here in Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada and we will be waiting til around May 26 to see glorious lilacs blooming here in the Great White North.

  263. 263

    Helen says

    Still winter here, there’s ice and snow on the sides of the stream here, but a feeling that spring is coming or maybe I’m imagining that. I’m in northwest Connecticut, practically Millerton, NY. ( Hi Kevin, met you at The Motorworks recently….)

  264. 264

    Helen says

    We really haven’t had winter here on Cape Cod…chilly some days but pleasant most of the time…felt like Spring was around the corner all winter!

  265. 265

    Stephanie says

    Not exactly spring yet, but we have seen robins. There’s hope! Ice jams on the Platte are causing flooding, but nothing like last year when became an island. Come on spring!!! Thank you for the giveaway, and for all your helpful posts!

  267. 267

    Michele Steves says

    Spring is on it’s way in southeastern TN. My daffodils are up, but not open. I’ve got leaves forming on my camellia.

  268. 268

    Ann Tynes says

    Well, we’ve had our one snow here in Virginia Beach! Now it’s onto spring……….hopefully.

  269. 269

    Rony says

    Winter seems to not have come to Brooklyn this year. My first year winter sowing (Thanks for introducing me to the concept!) and there is no snow and mild temps!

  270. 270

    CAROL says

    It’s melting. It’s melting!! The streets are dry. Spring is coming! LOL. someday

    Wow Kevin, look at all of your followers.

  271. 271

    cindy corriveau says

    It is like spring here in southern New england. I have tried wintersowing again this year with my seeds. I am curious this year what will happen since we have had less than 10 inches of snow all winter and the temps have been above normal

  272. 272

    Patty Buscaglia says

    Buffalo NY area has been super windy with lots of sun for a few days now. Not much snow left on the ground but no signs of green yet. Bring it on!

  273. 273

    Diane Bunting says

    Certainly not spring where I live, upstate NY, but I’m beating the rap by spending some time in sunny, warm, south Florida!

  274. 274

    Pamala York says

    It was just announced we’ve had the warmest January ever. My Daffodils have been blooming for over 3 weeks now. Spring is sprung.

  275. 275

    Tamara says

    Here in New Brunswick Canada it is still full on winter. But the days are getting longer and the sun feels great.

  276. 276

    Debbie Powers says

    Hello Kevin! Nothing blooming in my garden yet in Kentucky but lots and lots of foliage pushing through the mulch! Have a great day!

  277. 277

    Bejane says

    Jonquils are blooming among the falling snowflakes on my NC Mtn today…very best of both seasons!

  279. 279

    Katherine ORourke says

    Spring is peeking through in the inland Northwest. Daffodil bulbs pushing up, tiny leaves on the shrubbery, doves are calling, the days are longer.

  280. 280

    Linda says

    Still need snow tires here in Ely, MN. Temps finally got above zero! Lots of snow and cold! Waiting for the miracle of Spring.

  281. 281

    Jennifer says

    For a midwinter break take a trip to Sharon Springs, NY. Check out Beekman 1802’s transformation into Schitt’s Creek’s “Rose Apothecary”. Embrace every season with an adventure!

  282. 282

    Pamela says

    We have had a few days of sunshine but the forecast is calling for snow and rain later in the week

  284. 284

    Rose says

    50 degrees today, am getting my hope up that spring is on the way
    Mother Nature says not so fast, big snow storm on way Monday and Tuesday .
    At least it won’t last long.

  286. 286

    Deb S says

    Although the sun☀️ is out today with Robin-egg-blue skies ‘Ole Man Winter is not done with us. Later this week the cold and snow returns. ❄

  287. 287

    Deonna Rae Bishopp says

    East Texas has had lots of rain but my herbs are coming back to life! Thai Basil still sleeping but thyme awake and spearmint is back! Spring is slinging to life in Texas!! Yay y’all !!

  288. 288

    Sheila Lemble says

    No snow & although 50 is predicted not spring yet, either on the Michigan Ohio border.

  289. 289

    Mary V says

    An unusual warm winter ( snowless) so far here in Rhode Island. I worry about my plants, last year it was warm I lost a favorite hosta ( spilt milk) which is weird. The Daffs are beginning to grow, but I have seen them covered in snow before.

  292. 292

    Karen says

    Definitely springlike in Northern VA…crocus, snowdrops and some daffodils already blooming after a very mild winter there!

  295. 295

    Linda says

    Spring’s trying to get here in Illinois but winter isn’t letting go. High of 57 degrees today and dropping to a high of 25 degrees by Thursday. Thank you for another chance to win this awesome mixer!

    I thought we were done with snow. Then last night happened. ❄️ BUT! Spring IS on its WAY!!!

  299. 299

    Carol Tellefson says

    It is a month too early here in Texas, too wet and chilly. Hoping for an explosion of color then. Thanks for celebrating St. Pat’s Day in such a fun green way. Hope my Irish Roots prove lucky.

  300. 300

    Shirley Archambault says

    Longing for Spring, but hoping for one good snow storm. My family depends on one or two good snowstorms to save enough money to use throughout the year. Without one this year, we will be depending more on our garden than ever before!

  301. 301

    Andrea Schmidt says

    Hi Kevin,

    Well here in Charleston, SC, it goes from winter to spring to summer all in a 5-day span. It does get confusing on what to wear at times. I am going to miss winter though because come spring, summer, and fall that means yard work and with allergies and asthma I’d rather be in the kitchen baking.

  302. 302

    Cathie says

    Franklin Turtle woke up from his winter nap and saw his shadow day before yesterday. So I guess spring has sprung in Phoenix!

  303. 303

    Beverly DiBell says

    Spring is still trying to fight off winter here, but winter is gearing up for another round.

  304. 304

    Anne Unangst says

    ‘Tho still lots of snow all around, the light lasts longer in the afternoons and the sounds of some birds are new to the air. Here in Central Vermont we will have to first get through mud season, probably in April, before a proper Spring arrives. Its arrival is a delight.

  306. 306

    Peri says

    Crazy winter here in Florida! We’ve set record lows of 24 degrees and record highs of 90. Thank goodness there is no snow!

  307. 307

    Lisa Horner says

    Little signs of spring here… daffodils are blooming… we have not really had much snow at all so far, but I’m not ruling it out just yet!

  308. 308

    Kris Fox says

    Our deciduous trees are starting to leaf out and flowering fruit trees are in bloom in central coastal California. Starting to see migrating birds and butterflies, too!

  309. 309

    Tracy Kash says

    Beautiful sunny week here in lovely Detroit but spring has yet to…spring!! I plan to encourage it by getting my seeds started in a few weeks!!

  310. 310

    Dorothy says

    still a little snow but this week will be above zero
    March can be difficult, esp the St. Pat’s storm

  311. 311

    Pat Johnston says

    Snowdrops and winter aconites are now just about finished here in Virginia and the daffodils are getting ready to bloom. The plum tree is putting out some blossom but I fear a frost will kill any hope of plums this year as it is too, too early.

  312. 312

    DONNA M KORKUS says

    Winter is still here in Bolton Landing
    50″” of snow for the season but the Cardinals are at the bird feeder and the sun is shining beautiful today.

  314. 314

    Sonja Brow says

    That is absolutely beautiful! Here in Wyoming it is still very much winter. We have been below zero several nights in the past week, have random snow flurries and small blizzards, and the wind has been absolutely crazy. A few weeks ago we set a record with a 97 mile an hour gust on Outer Drive. I-80, which is south of us, has been closed many times this year.

  315. 315

    gloria says

    Northern CT. Little snow piles, but the birds are singing away- Yellow Finches are yellowing up and I see buds fattening as well- I hope not too soon because late frosts destroy flowers and hope for fruit.

  317. 317

    Christy says

    In Midwest Nebraska the spring / winter call is made on a day by day basis! Today spring! And I’ve spotted soft green bulb shoots starting to peek out of the ground ☀️ ☀️☀️

  318. 318

    Tana B. says

    Oh, unfortunately, we’re still digging out from winter (Southeast Idaho). It’ll be a couple months yet before we get to play in the dirt. Guess that means more inside time to play in the kitchen and sewing room!

  319. 319

    Jeanne Wing says

    Oh no! I’m in Maine and I still have winter! Although, it’s been very mild. I’m ready for spring and summer!

  320. 320

    John Braat says

    East Tennessee is soaked with all the rain we’ve had. Still a few more frozen nights to endure before we can get our garden in.

  322. 322

    Mariayn says

    Central Indiana…..spring is peeking around the corner. We have gotten more rain than snow this season making the ground very soggy.

  323. 323

    Mary McNamara says

    It’s faking spring here, but winter will, once again visit us, I’m sure. Montana doesn’t really have spring until May. 🙂

  325. 325

    Sharon says

    Michigan weather changes quickly! We are having a combo of cold teen temps up to mid 40’s- had snow 3 x’s last week- grandkids still enjoying the good packing kind of snow!
    PS- I have only had a hand mixer my entire life(61 years)! I would love to give that green beast a whirl!

  327. 327

    Cathy says

    Well… Last week it was winter, 6 inches of snow and freezing! Today it’s spring, 50 degrees and sunny. Next week, back to winter.
    Sigh.

  328. 328

    Jeannie Pancurak says

    Here in the Pinelands of South Jersey, we have had no snow. My middle school aged boys are not happy. We have no winter and no spring. It’s more of a “Swinter.” Like me, the weather is in a funk!

  329. 329

    Mary says

    We’re having a gorgeous sunny & warm weekend in Wisconsin….early spring?!? I’ve lived here long enough to know better!

  331. 331

    Gretchen B says

    I’m in NW Wyoming; we have plenty of snow in the mountains and fields, but the roads are mostly clear. Nights getting down to zero still! Needless to say, spring is a good ways off…

  332. 332

    Gladys Rellinger says

    Still have a nice covering of snow on flower beds and garden here in Waterloo, On CA. Last week I broke my left ankle. I am hoping that I am mobile by garden planting time.

  334. 334

    Lois Herrick says

    Hi Kevin! It is starting to feel like spring here in north central Alberta and welcome it after the long cold cold cold periods we enjoyed this winter!

  335. 335

    Nancy says

    Here in Eastern PA winter never came and it feels like Spring is right around the corner with the bulbs and buds popping out!

  338. 338

    Suzanne K says

    I think we are just about there. Got a trace of rain yesterday and I’m betting that’s the last gasp. Happy spring!!

  341. 341

    Judy says

    Lots and lots of snow still here in far north WI.If we’re lucky Spring will be here the end of April. I’m going to try winter-sowing starting the end of March. Wish me luck!

  344. 344

    Lou M. says

    We are still shifting back and forth between winter and teases of spring in central Missouri. Temperatures will be up to 59 degrees today (yeah!) but by Wednesday snow is predicted. I am ready for spring.

  345. 345

    Kris Wallace says

    Here in the Cornwall, Ontario area, just across the St. Lawrence River from upstate New York, there’s still a couple of feet of snow, but the sun is stronger, the days are longer, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing so, to me, spring is certainly here 🙂

  346. 346

    Linda says

    I’m hearing more chatter from the birds and the March winds have arrived which is a telltale sign we are nearing the end of winter.

  347. 347

    Rachel Cheli says

    This is my favorite color! We had a very mild Winter in SE Pennsylvania- nothing Spring here yet, but I did get my seeds in the mail 2 weeks ago!

  348. 348

    Pat Martin says

    Still cold here on shores of Lake Huron, but the sun has power in it and out on the Lake there’s still ice near shore but far out is brilliant, promising blue and turquoise.
    Have a great Sunday!

  350. 350

    Patricia Small says

    Springlike here in Central Virginia. Daffodils are blooming but the temperatures are very fickle, 60 degrees today 30 degrees tomorrow! Love the mixer!

  351. 351

    Ann Heinzer says

    We’ve got crocuses blooming and daffodils are almost here. We never had a proper winter – it’s been unusually warm. I’m glad to see the spring early, but not if its from global warming.

  352. 352

    Rebecca Juanes says

    Here in middle TN it depends on the day and sometimes the hour. We had a great spring clean up at the YMCA garden and 2 days later it snowed! My winter sown milk jugs are on the south side of the house but the raised beds are in a sea of mud. Wait a week and we’ll see.

  353. 353

    Lauren Ziemski says

    My irises have come up! (Well, just one anyway). Odd amounts of sunshine and not-so-cold temps here at the Jersey Shore are confusing my poor bulbs! But! Winter sowing is underway, thanks to you, Kevin!

  354. 354

    Pam Gonzalez says

    Winter is still trying to rear it’s cold head. But today we’re supposed to hit 50 degrees. No wonder the poor flowers and trees don’t know what to do!! Well here’s hoping the we all have a wonderful spring!!

  355. 355

    Claire Mead says

    The sun is starting to make its way north and the days are noticeably longer here in northern NH, but we still have plenty of snow on the ground and had several sub-zero nights this week.

  356. 356

    Kerry says

    Still snow covered in southwest Montana. Spring is always a struggle along the Rockies with many warm days interrupted by heavy spring snow. But if Spring is a feeling, it has arrived!

  358. 358

    Nancy VanDyke says

    It is a winter wonderland here near Green Bay WI. Today it is sunny and very bright. I have someone very special that has been wanting your wonderful mixer for a long time. Thank you for the giveaway.

  359. 359

    Paula Mann says

    Northern Colorado is confused. It’s been snowing and cold all of February but this morning I woke up to rain. I think we have a ways to go before spring arrives.

  360. 360

    linda carney says

    still small chunks of dirty snow about, waiting for the plowed messes to melt, the bunnies are starting to hop across the road again, and the gardens – and I-are soaking up the four days of sun in a row, haven’t seen that for a while, it’s been grey up here in northern MA.

  362. 362

    Betty says

    The grass is growing, some ferns are showing those fiddle heads and huecheras are flowering. Definitely signs of spring!

  363. 363

    Chris says

    Winter is still here in Poland Spring Maine. At least it’s sunny and warmer today. It’s 20 degrees!!! Time for a walk

  364. 364

    Michelle Pignataro says

    Arkansas here and we no longer have seasons per se.We have wet and warm and wet and cold, wet and windy and wet and frigid, and the build an ark wet. I feel like I am rusting! Thanks for asking!

  366. 366

    Megan Black says

    Here in California’s Sierra Foothills, it IS spring! I returned home from a trip to find my 100’s of daffodils happily beaming at the sun. It began with a shoe box of bulbs sent from Virginia in the 1960’s to my now 96 year old friend. She has us thin her plot and shared the joy! I wll be green with envy of whomever gets the mixer…

  367. 367

    Nancy P Adams says

    Spring has yet to arrive in my NH neck of the woods. But—spring can be felt in the warm sunshine and gently weather. And a happy wearing ‘o the green to one and all.

  368. 368

    Barbara D. says

    A few hours of sun yesterday here in Denver Colorado. Back to cloudy and snowy today. Still have 2 inches of snow on the lawn.

  369. 369

    Katey M says

    I live not far from you (Zone 5 in Upstate) & still have nice snow cover. We have heard some song birds so we know Spring is not far away. Looking forward to updating my aging raised beds to make the easier to manage.

  370. 370

    Barbara says

    We’ve had a few days here in the Pacific Northwest that have been sunny and warm enough to venture out into the blackberry thickets in an attempt to control their dominance. Oh, who am i kidding? I haven’t been out of winter hibernation long enough to tackle a job of that magnitude. But i did get two spring-bulb-beds weeded, so that’s something.

    Here’s to a great new year, and let’s hope 2020 is a return to collective sanity for us all!

  372. 372

    ann snipes says

    There are daffodils blooming and some trees blooming here in Virginia Beach. Signs of Spring are very noticeable here, but we did have a very small amount of snow here two days ago.

    I live in Mahopac, NY and the weather today is gorgeous. It will reach 53 today. I was lazy at the end of the season and left my outdoor containers with the roots to my Geraniums. I am getting ready to go out in my garden and clean up all the pots. This will make it easier for me to plant new plants in the Spring which I hope is not too far away.
    PS: I started my winter sowing at the beginning of February. You got me started on this last year.
    Thank you for all your great ideas and recipes.

    In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, still lots of snow everywhere, but this morning the air feels balmy at near freezing and smells like Spring. The sun is bright and the birds are singing “Spring is coming” : ))

    Aline says

    I’m in the Houston TX area. We’ve had a pretty mild winter this year and I think spring is almost here. I am not starting my garden just yet, I should be able to safely plant the middle of March.

    Than you for your entertaining post and great recipes.
    Pick me please

    Hi All!
    Checking in fro Peterborough, ON! We are having a beauty warm, sunny day at 2° C. It is a wonderful, fresh day and I feel like hanging laundry outside.
    My fingers are crossed that Canadian fans will be included in the draw but if not I havrme enjoyed sharing with you all.
    Happy Spring just 25 days from today!

    Denise says

    In Southern Ontario we have been bouncing between winter and spring since January. Warm spring temperatures one day, snow the next.

  384. 384

    Jane Smythe says

    Still buried in the white stuff near Toronto but it’s sunny and warm today and the melt is on it’s way. A green mixer would help my mood. Thanks Kevin. Hope it’s spring soon for you.

  385. 385

    Marny Williams says

    Feels like spring today in SW Ontario but with some snow still on the ground. Confused state of weather this winter 🙂

  386. 386

    Billie Stanton says

    The bulbs’ tiny green fronds are beginning to erupt, but the snow still is flying here in Colorado!

    Skye Daniels says

    SanAntonio cannot make up its mind…Hot & muggy, then dropping 30 degrees overnight & staying cold for two days, then dragging out the tank tops again.
    Keep your entire wardrobe available!! 🙂

    Linda Paul says

    I moved to Central Florida last year, and I have to say I have enjoyed the winter! Today’s high will be 71 and I’m planning to buy some cherry tomato plants today!

  390. 390

    Lynn says

    Spring has not yet arrived in western NY but this week promises to melt alot of the white stuff that remains. I’m hopeful….

  391. 391

    Donna says

    No snow here in Southwest Florida, just sunny blue skies. I hope to be back in Upstate NYS for the daffodils, forsythia and budding lilacs.

  392. 392

    Chris says

    Considering I reside in the great white north of Ontario, Canada, spring will be a wee bit longer in arriving. Of course, that has not stopped me from buying too many seeds and starting my hot peppers under grow lights. Would love another diversion in the form of a lovely green mixer for a bit of baking. Thanks Kevin!

  393. 393

    Katie says

    Sunny with snowdrops budded today in NW PA … but tomorrow could bring another blizzard. As always!

  394. 394

    Carol says

    Magnolias in flower, flowering plum trees in bloom, bulbs pushing up, its spring in San Francisco!!!

    Elizabeth Karan says

    Today is just gorgeous!! Bright blue skies and a whopping 40 degrees….a promise of what is coming! We have had an abnormally quiet winter…we won’t be getting the Golden Snowball award in the Syracuse N.Y. area this winter. Hurray!

  396. 396

    Mary Holewinski says

    Lots of rain with cold nights in College Park, GA. Other days are beautiful enough for outside gardening. Daffodils have been up and many trees are blossoming. My coral honeysuckle is budding and getting ready for the hummingbirds. Time to get my feeders dusted off in case I have early visitors passing through.
    Thanks for all you do. You bring joy to so many.

  397. 397

    BETTI FLETCHER says

    Not digging out from snow, we barely got any. Spring isn’t here either, very cold today. But garden catalogs all over the place, cold seeds started as well as some winter sowing. And big plans in my head, will see how many get to the garden. But perfect time to bake, would love that green mixer.

  398. 398

    Linda Shatney says

    Spring? hey, it’s Vermont….spring is a ways off but, sunshine, blue skies and white snow make for a lovely day…

    Stacie says

    Spring is here except for one cold day we’re expecting on Wednesday. I will be covering my tomatoes and peppers I planted, but for the most part we’re well past winter!

  402. 402

    Brenda Tarnowetzki says

    Here in Saskatchewan, the sun is shining, the days are getting longer, and we are finally confident that spring will come, even though we still have snow on the ground!

  406. 406

    stephen howells says

    It was a chilly 68 yesterday in Santa Cruz, projected to be in the high 70s this coming week. Weed pulling is finished. Amendments in the garden to come.

  407. 407

    Martha says

    Plenty of snow at our 1900 elevation zone 5b house, but snowdrops just started blooming in downtown Ithaca nearby. I’m getting ready to sprout ginger and turmeric to grow for the first time!

  408. 408

    Annie Bliss says

    I’m visiting my kids in Dallas and spring is definitely beginning here! Birds are singing, and at the Dallas Arboretum, thousands of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths are in bloom… It’s spectacular!!

  409. 409

    Mary Ann Leonard says

    2/23/22 In Chagrin Falls, OH, we will get into the 50’s today! Remnants of old snow mounds are shrinking under beautiful clear blue skies.

  411. 411

    Carol says

    We have had a mild winter here in Topeka, Kansas area… for the last two weeks the robins have been poking around the lawn… spring is coming….

  412. 412

    Nancy says

    Spring is kind of relative here in Houston. We’ve had enough unusually warm weather during what we call “winter” here to confuse the local vegetation, so it’s sort of here.

  413. 413

    Monica Phillips says

    The flowers are blooming and trees have buds but here in the foothills of North Carolina we can still we some ice or snow. Today is sunny with highs in the 50’s and tonight lows in the 20’s.

  415. 415

    Tina says

    Mrs. Groundhog saw her shadow, so six more weeks of winter. It had been weeks and weeks of clouds at sunrise before and after “Imbolc”, let’s call it, that is, Groundhog Day, how do it know? Pretty sunny sunrise today, howsoever cold.

  418. 418

    Sheila Aukerman says

    The crocuses are out here in Westminster, MD. My “Penny Pink” Helleborus are providing lots of cheer in my garden. It’s in the 50’s today & the sun is bright. I am feeling thankful!

  421. 421

    Jane says

    We have hardly had winter here on the coast of North Carolina, but the last two days have been very cold— 23 degrees at night. Our plants and trees and birds are confused but spring is coming soon to stay!

  422. 422

    Sandra Abalos says

    Spring is in it’s taunting stage here in deep east Texas, temps bouncing from a low of 29 two nights ago to 70 yesterday! So anxious to start planting, but will wait for the pecan trees to bud out.

  423. 423

    Mary Beierle says

    Snowed here in East Tennessee last week and more snow coming this week. Not much though. Daffodils are blooming and trees are budding. Spring is just around the corner.

  424. 424

    Linda Bingham says

    We haven’t really had a winter this year. The entire month of February has been dry, not a raindrop in sight, with daytime temperatures in the high 60’s to low 70’s. The spring trees are beginning to bloom & the daffodils are blooming profusely.

  429. 429

    Giuditta Reppi says

    My crocuses are up here on Cape Cod, and I’m itching for true spring (of course we had ocean snow squalls on Friday…).

  430. 430

    Lynne E says

    We don’t get enough snow to have to dig out thank goodness. Yes indeed spring is on the way in. Keep on cooking Kevin

  431. 431

    Barbara Mullinix says

    It’s here in the Shenandoah Valley – with crocuses blooming and other spring bloomers well up. But it takes a break now and then.

  433. 433

    Kim Angeli says

    I’m in southeast Texas and the trees are budding out. Walking outside the hospital I just brought my husband home from actually got to see a few redbuds peeping out. Spring has sprung

  437. 437

    Jeannie Curry says

    Yes, spring is arriving here in Las Cruces, NM. My winter panseys are blooming like crazy and the snap dragons are budding. Weeds, too are popping up (boo).

  438. 438

    Amanda Deloff says

    Winter is still going strong in CNY! Snow on the ground and it is supposed to snow more next weekend. Love this comment thread to see where everyone is from.

  439. 439

    Diana says

    Spring is here very early in England on the Sussex coast – there are daffodils everywhere.
    ‘……. In vacant or in pensive mood,
    they flash upon that inward eye
    which is the bliss of solitude,
    and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils’. (Wordsworth)

  441. 441

    Betsy T says

    Up to 50 today in Chicago, but snow expected later in the week. Daffodils are pushing up in my yard. Still a lot of winter left to go, but signs of hope!

  443. 443

    Denise Janssen Eager says

    Kevin, I live in Palm Springs, CA where it’s spring October-April & hell May-September. Unfortunately, we don’t have the beautiful green foliage that the rest of the country gets. But the desert has its own beauty.

  444. 444

    cathy sullens says

    Mother Nature can’t make up her mind…warm,cold, warm, cold..smile…but spring will be here soon!

  445. 445

    Marsha Lockhart says

    It is a nice day in CT. Just enough nice weather and sunshine to let us know “spring will come again”. Snowstorm in March….maybe?? Poor man’s fertilizer, right!

  446. 446

    Jeannine says

    It’s a bright and sunny day, but still lots of snow on the ground! We’re not finished with winter yet.

  447. 447

    Tracey Gardipee says

    Today in Western Canada, spring feels close, but still so much snow on the ground, nevertheless, I am hopeful for an early spring.

  448. 448

    K. Kachou says

    With St. paddy’s day almost here… spring is just around the corner here in Hudson valley ny.

  449. 449

    Diane Hinkle says

    Our weather is up and down……in the 70’s one day and snow the next. In between the jonquils have found their way thru the earth and are smiling at me as is the witch hazel. Spring is not too far off! I am ready!

  450. 450

    Cindy S. says

    It’s been a pretty mild winter. I’m hopeful for an early spring, but it isn’t here yet. We are having a tease of warmer temps though. Lots of spring planting planned when we are safely past freeze threat.

  451. 451

    Diane says

    In North Texas I have had daffodils for about a month and have the larger ones still coming. A few iris and some azalea flowers but not much else.

  452. 452

    Roberta Myyra says

    Here in Michigan, everything is brown, brown, BROWN. And cold. Snow on Tuesday. But my long season vegetable seedlings just peeked through the seed starter and there are tulips in my living room window.

  454. 454

    Amy Stander says

    It’s been well above average temperatures most of the winter in southern Ohio. I expected to see my early crocuses around February 1, but they are still not flowering!

  455. 455

    Fritz says

    It feels tantalizingly like Spring today in the East Village, lower Manhattan—brilliant sun, 50 degrees—and snowdrops are nodding in the pocket gardens. But it is just a preview. I think grimmer temps are on the menu this coming week. I’m getting out into the light while I can!

  458. 458

    Mary K says

    We have a few hints of spring… but it’s still early!

    I think the green mixer would be amazing!

  460. 460

    George C says

    We are having a taste of spring but with snow and cold moving in later in the week its all just a tease.

  462. 462

    Janice says

    Spring has definitely arrived here in Sonoma, CA…in fact I have already had to water my newly planted trees and shrubs. Hoping for rain before the official dry season begins! I’m entering this contest for my daughter who is a fabulous baker but so far has to do everything by hand. Thanks Kevin!

  463. 463

    Jan Beier says

    Kevin-we’ve had a few cold days, and even had a few snowflakes spit at us one morning, but we are still having warm enough days where the daffodils and plum trees are blooming. Hope we don’t have a March blizzard like we did a few years back!!!

  469. 469

    MARY PAULSEN says

    Still snow in Illinois and we are heading back after 2 months in Arizona. It will be easier to take knowing spring is just around the corner!

  470. 470

    Carmen Tucker says

    Still cold and white outside here in NW
    Montana. There is a reason they call it Glacier country around here.

  471. 471

    Ellen Kaiser says

    Ran away from Chicago’s cold to Florida for the month. Hope it’s gone when we return in two weeks!

  472. 472

    Jan says

    Here in Indiana weather is not too bad, wind a bit chilly. Birds are starting to sound like early spring.

  473. 473

    KRISTEN FROST says

    Daffodils in FULL BLOOM! As are many other beautiful spring time trees! We SO need more rain but I guess I’ll enjoy this nice weather while it’s here!! Happy “almost” springtime to all!!

  475. 475

    Betty Blalock says

    On a sunny day last week, I started cleaning out my flower tubs. Two plants from last year have tiny green shoots already. Yes, definitely spring fever here in Texas.

  477. 477

    Amy says

    In our little Southern California valley, temps are between 30 and 40 most nights, and daytime highs are between 55 and 75. Perfect pea growing weather!

    elaine says

    Hey Kevin, Welp it’s snowing like crazy here in the forest of Colorado. Winter came early, and we’re wondering when it’s going to leave. Although very thankful for the moisture!

  482. 482

    Beth Moore says

    Lots of snow on the ground in Northern Maine but the sun is shining and it is 35 degrees…so, it’s a wonderful winter outside day.

  483. 483

    Rege Ehrenfeld says

    I’m in Camp Hill Pa just had a Knee Replacement so I won’t be doing too much ! Today is so nice out I want to go out and work in the yard

  484. 484

    Jessica says

    We have snow on the ground melting into a muddy mess. Snow last week and 50 degrees today. Gotta love Michigan!

  485. 485

    Karin Soderberg says

    Good morning! And yes— Spring sure feels as tho it’s arrived here in Southern California! (Did it ever leave??). I’ve got camellias, petunias, calla lily, and roses in bloom, and my clivia has woken and pushing up at least 8 flower stalks! Bees are happy with all the lavender and rosemary blooms and humming birds are feasting on cape honeysuckle!

  486. 486

    Robert Meehan says

    Well we just had the biggest (and only) snowfall of the winter. A devastating 3/4 inch!! Here on the Eastern Shore of VA we have Crocus up and almost done, Daffodils coming on, Hyacinths just forming flowers, Forsythia beginning to bud and the Willows and Pear trees showing the first buds. Been a very mild winter…again.

  488. 488

    Miller says

    Big Blue keeping us warm(er) here in Myrtle Beach! Looking forward to Spring, but not the pollen!

  489. 489

    Cheryl says

    No snow here, in my corner of NE Ohio. It isn’t spring quite yet either. As soon as I hear the mourning doves, I know spring will follow on their soft coo. Soon!

  491. 491

    Maureen says

    Not officially…but the cherry blossoms and magnolia blooms are fattening up! Spring is around the corner.

  492. 492

    Kathy says

    Yes, it feels like Spring here, and was in the 60’s yesterday, buds on trees and daffodils are here in Oregon already.

  493. 493

    Mariah McNail says

    Spring is not here but it is trying. Snowdrops are blooming and hellebores are budded up. No crocus yet though!

  494. 494

    Ginger says

    There is light snow falling in Calgary but the weather here is so variable we could start to see the first crocus in a few weeks. The nights are not as cold and the sun is feeling a bit warmer. Thankfully the days are noticeably longer. Spring is still a hope and a dream.

  496. 496

    Cynthia says

    Here in Southern California, it’s almost always Spring-like! At our desert home, the wild flowers are peeking up through the sand!

  497. 497

    Patricia Allman says

    Spring is definitely in the air. Sunny one minute raining the next. But the spring bulbs are all popping up.

  498. 498

    Edward Weik says

    The days are getting longer and the bird song getting stronger. Spring is literally just around the corner!

  501. 501

    We here in northern Michigan have’nt even thought about spring .We still have two feet of snow .Maybe by May we will see green.

    Cornelia Vick says

    Big fat robins were all over my yard this morning !!!!!!!!!

    Several cardinal families joined in the party on my patio.

    I changed my email last week and I will give it to you in the following …..

    Love your recipes……..Thank you…..

  504. 504

    Susan Irving says

    It’s 50 today, wintry-mix coming on Thursday.
    If you don’t like the weather, just stick around…
    someting new just arund the corner.

    Debby West says

    Here in “Famously Hot” Columbia, SC daffodils are in bloom as are ornamental cherry trees, Tulip magnolias, ‘Spring’ Vibernum, Lorapetalum, clover, hen bit (and other cool season weeds). It has been a historically wet winter. Looking forward to warmer temperatures!

  506. 506

    Jennifer says

    It has been hard core winter here until yesterday when we hit low 40s. Can’t wait for spring!

  507. 507

    Sandy L says

    Here in Port Moody, BC we’ve got crocuses blooming and thick buds in the hydrangeas. Spent all yesterday doing the annual clean up in a section of garden, getting ready for all the plants that about to spring into action!

  510. 510

    Donnikah says

    Spring has started here in central North Carolina. Some trees have budded and the daffodils are blooming. Then we got our first snow of the season 2 nights ago.

  513. 513

    Deborah says

    We are into the freeze thaw freeze cycle of late winter here. Warm temps for the weekend but dropping tomorrow. I love this time of year, except for the appearance of icy mud.

  514. 514

    Chris Rasmussen says

    Its winter temps and budding plants. But we are Utah so wait 5 minutes and it’ll change. Literally!!!

  515. 515

    Don Ross says

    Our weather is schizophrenic. Right now if feels like spring has sprung, but I think we have more cold weather on the horizon.

  516. 516

    Sandi says

    Signs of spring everywhere here in Southern CA – daffodils, African daisies, freesia blooming like crazy! No complaints from this former NYer!

  522. 522

    Sarah S says

    Not much snow and generally gloomy, unfortunately! And no cozy blanket for my sleeping garden. But no bulbs peeking up yet either! At least my witch hazel is blooming.

  524. 524

    Jean A. says

    The saying goes “if you are in Iowa and don’t like the weather, wait until tomorrow!” Today upper 40’s, snow is melting, but it will change in a couple days. Spring comes sometime in late April or May, then summer!

  525. 525

    Eileen Hood says

    Spring is almost here! Our daffodils are about 8″ tall, hydrangeas are about 2″ out of the ground and a family of quails were walking through the garden today! Now to just get warmer weather!!!

  526. 526

    Linda O. Webb says

    Not the worst Winter VA has had but I am a Winter hater, dreaming of summer. I would love to give that mixer a home.

  530. 530

    Mikaela says

    We should still be having winter, but it has been the warmest winter on record, so it seems like spring has arrived.

  531. 531

    Jill says

    Here in Northeast Massachusetts the mornings are getting brighter and the birds are happily chirping! Saw my first robin today! I think spring is on it’s way and the groundhog was right! 🙂

  534. 534

    Stacey Harrison says

    No snow at the moment, but here in Southwest Colorado, snow could easily fall again.

    Those peanut butter cookies you showed are delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

  535. 535

    Sherlie Magaret says

    Four weeks until official date of spring and watching for daffodils to peek thru the soil in Southwest Iowa. That will be when I know spring will be here and time to plant greens and snow peas. 🙂

    Laura says

    Sting is coming via flood conditions. Swimming in the basement. Might go ahead and force the bulbs indoors due to abundance of water‍♂️

  537. 537

    We can see the beginnings of Spring here in Tennessee! Daffodils are in bloom along roadsides and yesterday we saw the first forsythia☺️

    Stephanie Berlin says

    Hi Kevin!

    Spring is here

    Cold at night here in Central Washington, but looking forward to maybe a high in the 50’s this week.

  548. 548

    I live in Houston so the weather can’t decide! One day it’s 70 and sunny, the next it’s 50 and windy. Gotta love Houston weather!

  549. 549

    Laura R. says

    Still snow on the ground, and more to come this week, but it’s been a beautiful winter of substantial snows! (I don’t like 1-2” every other day…give me 5-6“ once a week!)

  550. 550

    Angela says

    Hi Kevin!
    Still winter but no snow. In the high 40’s today!!

    Carey B. says

    Snow melting in Milwaukee after a mild winter. I see glimpses of early spring plants pushing on through but it will be another month or so before I hear the chirps of baby Cardinals in the chimney nest.

  557. 557

    Robyn says

    Unfortunately we are still digging but I have noticed buds on the trees. It’s fine though, gives me time to plan out this year’s garden.

  558. 558

    Hi Kevin, I am soo ready for Spring. I want to dig in the dirt and look in the yard to see what plants made it back through our Minnesota winter.

    Here in Seattle it is brilliantly sunny and then pouring rain, a sure sign that Spring is around the corner. Can’t wait to get my garden started and have those fresh herbs and veggies.

  561. 561

    Mary P. says

    A nice and sunny day. We were able to enjoy a nice long walk.
    It will be awhile before spring.

  562. 562

    Rose says

    Spring is showing in tree blossoms, but retreating overnight when winter temperatures return and leave browned blossoms on trees when we awake

  564. 564

    Marsha says

    Hyacinths: “We can’t help but already show our green by 2″ in Mom’s garden even tho we’ll probably get more snow here in Zone 5.”
    Daffodils: “oh, that’s nothin! We are just about ready to bloom!”
    Thank you Kevin for your Generous Green Giveaway!

    Westchester county NY still hanging on to winter; I keep telling the daffodils who are poking out that it is not yet time.

  567. 567

    Gina Bruehl says

    Looks like another drought looming here in Northern California. It’s still Winter but looks like Spring has already sprung! My flowers are so confused!

  570. 570

    Spring is here in the Pacific NW! Portland did not get any snow this year. Daffodils, snowdrops, quince and crocus are blooming in my garden.

  572. 572

    Jennifer Guertin says

    Though it’s 23 days and counting til spring-I am lucky to get a taste of it when I go back to work next week in the greenhouse!

  575. 575

    Danni says

    I was just sitting in the sun and planning out the garden. No snow on the ground and it has been a very easy winter here! BUT! Still weeks to go before official spring and here in Massachusetts all hell can break loose weather wise at this point!

  576. 576

    Kathy West says

    January and February are our biggest snow months here in northern Virginia, but although we’ve had some wicked cold snaps, February is nearly over and we have no snow yet! On the positive side, daffodils are about a foot high and have a few buds. On the negative side, tree pollen is giving early headaches to allergy sufferers.

    it’s been very cold this last week in Boston, but no snow. Thankful for that as I am a bike commuter.
    Today is very sunny and much warmer (53 degrees) but we are preparing for rain, snow and more cold!

    Joanie says

    It’s been an ‘easy’ winter here in Philadelphia with only a one-time sprinkling of snow so far. The snowdrops are up, the forsythia is budding, and the daffs are breaking ground. March is unpredictable here, though! – we still may get that snowstorm.

  579. 579

    Kathy Z says

    52 degrees, sunny and beautiful here in PA. Not sure if Spring is here yet, but I’m ready!

    Spring just arrived and is already almost gone here in No. California. The Narcissus bloomed and faded within 2 weeks. Come on spring rains-we really need you!

  583. 583

    kathleen salmons says

    Well, spring hasn’t arrived, but we also haven’t had any snow this winter, so I am not sure what to call our weather right now!

    Buds are swelling, my daffodils are about to bloom – as soon as the rain stops and it dries up a bit, I’ll be ready to garden in Victoria BC!

    Waiting patiently in Minnesota. Ordering seeds and enjoying the 40 deg. weather today! More winter to come, for sure.

    Loraine Pross says

    Winter mostly gone – snowdrops are out a couple of weeks nw. Two mini narcissus are blooming. Iris Reticulata blooming. Spring ALMOST here. Temps 7-10 during the day. Still some light frost at night…..

    It is snowing as we speak in SE Alaska! the good news is that it usually doesn’t stick around for long.

    In the Pacific Northwest….galanthus, narcissus, hellebore, primula, crocus, cyclamen, early daff & a rhodo pink buds….and trillium, peonies are poking their noses up. lovely to see other ephemerals too. 2 pairs of gloves needed for clearing up the beds.

    Patrick Teehan says

    Unfortunately Kevin,
    We still have around 2′ of snow, but it is supposed to be in the upper 30’s all week so hopefully it will melt FAST! As soon as I saw your email today I immediately thought of your Tomato Pie recipe! What I wouldn’t do for a couple garden fresh tomatoes right now! And some of my Garlic stash is starting to sprout! 🙁
    Take care Kevin, spring is on the way! 🙂

    sallie says

    In Northern California on the coast we’re lacking rainfall so the beds are dry enough to weed and prepare for planting. Anemones, daffodils, plum, hellebore, crocus, quince, native currants and manzanita all blooming!

  603. 603

    Jackie Williams Peschong says

    Hi, Kevin. We are in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota so we could have snow until late April! That does not deter me from getting my winter sowing started or going to greenhouses for the greenery! My birthday is St. Patrick’s Day and I would love that beautiful green mixer. Love your blog, Kevin.

    Good afternoon from Mexico! Spring is definitely in the air here. Blue skies, birds singing, flowers blooming, it is a wonderful time of the year!

    No snow, but nothing poking out of the ground in my yard quite yet. It’s early, so as it should be.

  617. 617

    Kathy Morrison says

    Still cold and snow on tne ground here in Michigan, as it should be this time of year! I try to relish each season as it comes. I learned from a wise Scandinavian, there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing, so this time of year, its long John’s and thermal shirts, wool scarves and Uggs.

  618. 618

    Spring is underway with my cherry tree poised to explode into bloom. The nights are definitely warmer and skeins of Canada geese are on the move.

    Patty says

    Here in South Texas my poppies are up earlier than last year. But it’s cool enough so that my lettuce, kale, and collards are still around. It was an unseasonably warm winter . . . Even for South Texas.

  632. 632

    Emma Patricia Limber says

    It’s sunny, yet still cold for southern California. The first of the lizards have begun to show themselves and the weeds have prospered due to the recent rains. So off to clean up the green
    space. First I’ll brew some of your delicious Ginger Turmeric Tea. Bring on “spring”!

    Here is western Canada, we are still very much in winter but having a warm spell. Sunny and snow melting for the last few days and expected into the next week. I’ll take it!!

    Morgan says

    Flocks of robins showed up here in Oregon this week. It’s been a mild winter, and less rainy than usual, but I’m looking forward to spring.

    Every spring I think of this old rhyme I heard on tv as a kid.

    Spring has sprung
    The grass is grown
    The birds are on the wing
    My my how absurd
    I thought the wings
    Were on the bird

    Thanks for the giveaway, Kevin. Happy Spring!

    Goodness, after reading these posts, i went outside, and checked in my garden! what did see,? SNOWDROPS coming up ;o) i absolutely love them!!!!!

    Ann says

    Here in Tampa, FL we just had what is probably our last gasp of “winter,” two nights of lows in the 40s. I spent almost 3 hours yesterday raking, sweeping and bagging oak leaves and oak pollen. Today is a perfect Florida day at 74 degrees.

    Though Spring has not officially arrived here in Pittsburgh, there was plenty of sunshine today and it was comfortable enough to wear layers without a coat. Really looking forward to seeing my winter sown seedlings sprout.

    Devon Dougall says

    Up here in northern VT, we still have ice and snow, but the sun is swinging around the horizon AND today I saw two flocks of robins! You can smell the change in the air, and today everyone is outside enjoying the warmer day. C’mon Spring!

  658. 658

    JeanneB says

    Spring has arrived! The forsythia and daffodils are blooming as the robins are plucking worms and insects from the soggy soil! Welcome Spring

    Laura Cotturone says

    Live in Georgia but originally from NYS. Had 5” of snow 2 weeks ago, very unusual. Next day it was 60! Cherry trees are in blossom and daffodils are popping up. Spring is just around the corner. Can’t wait!

  665. 665

    Janel says

    It certainly does feel like Spring has arrived this weekend. Seems so early, but the nights are still in the 40s. Yesterday I planted Sweet Peas outdoors and I’m kind of excited about them. I started them indoors from seed awhile back. It’s my first experience with Sweet Peas. Right now I have the little seedlings all protected from the birds with screen until they get a bit bigger. These are special to me because they were seeds that my sister gave me from her Sweet Peas, which were her favorite flower. She passed away a couple of months ago and I’m happy to have the seeds from the plants she loved so much. Nice way to start (an early) Spring.

    Edna E. Vaines says

    It is raining to beat the band today here in Victoria BC Canada but the ornamental trees are starting to blossom and many crocus and daffodils are blooming as well. My crocus were chomped by a deer that we rarely see but they always leave a calling card.
    Thanks for your generous offer.

  677. 677

    Lucinda Reams says

    Living here in North Carolina our weather is like riding on a rollercoster. We have warm days for a few days and winter for a few days. We had snow 2 days ago and it is sunny warm day today. I really like this weather though. We get a taste of cold then we are rewarded with wonderful weather.

  679. 679

    Sheryl says

    No snow here and daffodils are up about 6 inches but still in tight bud. Cherry blossoms are starting to swell around the Tidal Basin. Spring will pop here one of these days!!!

    In West Tennessee we are getting lots of rain and cold nights however the daffodils are in bloom as are my peaches which are droopy. Think Spring, it is on the way! Blessings, Betty

    Vickie Halteman says

    It has been unseasonably warm here. We are afraid all the trees will bud and all our peaches will be lost.

    Snow is melting in Iowa but another storm will be here soon! My backyard has not melted at all and dogs still have to dig through! Would love this mixer since I have always wanted one!

    No sign of Spring yet. February has been a little nasty here at 5280 ft! Hope March gives us a break and we see more of that Rocky Mountain sunshine without moisture 🙂

    It’s cold and windy north of Seattle, but the sun has been shining. My elkhound likes it more than I do . . . but daffodils are up and blooming and the Indian plum is leafed out. Spring isn’t far!

    Mary Victor says

    Not spring in North Dakota but we have some sunshine that is melting our tall piles of snow.

    Carol King Platt says

    Spring pretends to be here every few days, when it’s in the fifties and the daffodils bud up. then it goes down to 12 degrees at night and we know it was just a tease!

    TONY THOMPSON says

    Hi friends, a year ago was our last snow storm (we are hoping) none so far and sun is out today!!

    PAT says

    We haven’t really gotten much wintry weather yet in Southern New Jersey, not that I’m complaining. We’re seeing daffodils breaking through the ground. No snow at all and not many frigid days at all. I think we’ll just slip into spring gracefully.

    Karin says

    Spent the afternoon cutting down grasses, and cleaning out beds. It’s been in the 50’s most of the winter, and bulbs are already 4 inches tall. Even daylilies and peonies are poking up. While we all enjoy the unseasonable weather, it is not a good thing.

  695. 695

    Debbie Collins says

    Left winter behind in SE Wisconsin where they will once again shovel out this coming week…basking in what we hope will be the sunny south of Hilton Head Island!

    Its cold and rainy here in central Texas, so … YES! Its springtime! Daffodils and paperwhites are in bloom, and the irises have greened up so they won’t be far behind.

    Spring is here in the NW. No snow this year. Got my pond cleaned for the frogs, Daffodils are blooming and my mountain rhododendrons are as well.

  715. 715

    Mrs. Elinor McCullough says

    Unusual temperatures here in the Texas Hill Country…..One day its Spring, next day its Winter, but the spring grasses are coming up like every day is Spring. But when I think back on this phenomenon, Texas is always Winter one day, Spring the next, then it turns to Summer.

    Victoria says

    Spring has come to Lexington, Virginia! Although some nights are below freezing, the forsythia has bloomed in sunny spots and the tulip magnolias have buds. We are enjoying days of 50 to 65 degree weather. Perfect for early gardening, hiking and bird watching.

  718. 718

    Spring has sprung in Gettysburg PA. Snowdrops, crocus and early Iris are blooming. The daffodils have fat buds and the hyacinth are peeping through the mulch.

    Lady Lorraine Johns says

    Not quite spring yet in Southeastern PA. The flowers are trying to poke up out of Mother Earth, but it’s been our history to get a good snow in March. But man would that beautiful green mixer brighten up my kitchen baking!!!!

  732. 732

    Florrie McGinnis says

    In Kansas it’s 60 degrees one day, then over an inch of ice and snow the next. That’s typical spring here!

    I’m near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Our crocuses are blooming and daffs and tulips up about 4 inches. Buds are popping out all over and birds are busy! Hope spring hits everyone soon!

    Lorrie says

    As pathetic as it may sound, it has actually been a little cold here, in Hawai’i. In the morning it has been in the low 60’s in my house. Try turning your thermostat down to that temp. No furnace here, but the toaster oven can be ok.

  741. 741

    Jorge says

    The weather can’t make up its mind here…one day is in the 60’s and two days later its snowing with temps in the teens. But hey, technically it’s still winter for a few more weeks!

  743. 743

    BARBIE says

    A white covering on the ground, but no deep piles of snow. I’m looking for snowdrops, but none in sight yet!

    Ron Falcone says

    This weekend was an amazing break from winter. We were able to work outside without coats. We pruned all the blueberry bushes and did some cleanup in the vegetable garden. But I’m sure winter will be back – maybe with a vengeance.

  748. 748

    Ardelle F Tuxen says

    Quite mild winter but we do have the remaining 8″ of snow which I really appreciate. It was a dreary January – no snow and now sun – so this is great. I don’t expect it to stay mid 30’s for long – headed into single digits within several days – possible snow – amaryllis blooming in my dining room and kitchen. Life is good.

  749. 749

    Barb Morgan says

    16” of snow so far along the front range here in Colorado! Much is gone with temps in the 40’s & 50’s (at least no need to winter water!) but I’m sure more to come, since March is our snowiest month!

  750. 750

    Julie says

    We had a lovely weekend here in northern Indiana, we made it to 50F!

    Some daffodils are starting to grow so we are hoping spring will be here soon.

    Birds are singing and there was a robin in my yard today. The temp was in the 60’s too. It’s Kansas so who knows?

    Susan says

    Spring is still in my dreams, Kevin. It’s cold and snowy here in western Massachusetts. But I played “Daffodils” on my guitar today and that gives me hope for the spring that is to come. The green mixer is lovely. Susan

  753. 753

    Christina says

    Western New York was in the high 40’s today so the snow is definitely melting. We often get snow in March so I’m sure winter isn’t over yet!

    Robins and daffodils in my yard, and (thankfully) less than 2 inches of snow all winter here in Northern Virginia. Spring is VERY welcome!!

    Massachusetts, no snow but I do see some of my bulbs pushing through. And some perineals are showing life. I am crossing my fingers for no snow, but it’s New England so we’ll have to wait and see. ☘️

    Signs of spring: Redbuds in bloom, Japanese Magnolias and pear trees in full bloom, tiny green leaves on oaks. But, recent frost hurt the strawberries.

    Gainesville, Florida – we had our azaleas blooming middle-late January. Darn this climate change, all is . . changing down here for sure. We no longer get 2 weeks of hard freeze in North Central Florida like we used to – last year it was one night. That’s it. This year two nights so far. I would love a bright green mixer to cheer me up and to make some of the wonderful recipes that you share! Merci =)

    Still winter here in Moscow, ID. Snow is mostly gone – still on the ground on the north side of the house. Days are getting warmer though – looking forward to Spring!

    dawn says

    just a dusting of snow this winter in my neck of the woods in jersey. some of my plants are pushing up through the ground. bit early! winter isn’t over yet. still have a couple months for old man winter to clean out his closets.

    Bonnie S says

    Robins and daffodils in my yard, and (thankfully) less than 2 inches of snow all winter here in Northern Virginia. Spring is VERY welcome!!

  774. 774

    SusanBingler says

    Here in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, it has been on and off very cold then temperatures in the 50’s. Snow has been scarce. But as I always tell people who insist that Spring is here, we still have to get through March. That’s when we usually get a blizzard!

  775. 775

    Anita Robertson says

    Spring is struggling mightily to arrive early in southern Massachusetts, despite still freezing nights: green shoots of iris are peeking out of the ground, ground cover is perking up and greening, the buds on the forsythia are starting to plump, and I’ve got to go looking for pussywillows to cut tomorrow when it breaks 50 degrees again!

  776. 776

    Mary says

    It’s still chilly in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, but the daffodills are blooming, and so are some of the trees. A good bit of rain, with the sun peeking through from time to time.

  777. 777

    Lori says

    Our chickens and ducks are eagerly awaiting the warmer weather here in eastern CT. It feels like spring is right around the corner!

  778. 778

    Wallace & Nancy Braud says

    Spring has been here, left, come back, left again, and supposed to be back this week. The poor flowers don’t know what to make of it. Some of our flowering trees that usually not blooming until mid-March are budding out now. That’s the way it goes sometimes!

  779. 779

    Ellen Lentz Waldstein says

    Spring definitely here in south central Pa. More birdsong, winter aconite in bloom, red tail hawks in pairs and more light for longer!!

  780. 780

    Playsindirt says

    There is still snow on the ground and more to come on Tuesday and Wednesday. In spite of the snow, some of the bulb species are peeking through the ground. Crazy winter!

    Had wonderful weather south of Boston Saturday and Sunday with another due on Monday. Nothing really growing yet but that is ok with me.

    Spring is here and has been for a few weeks. It still gets chilly at night but warms up during the day. So ready for summer!

  785. 785

    Carol B Lewandowski says

    It’s a sunny chilly (chilly for here that is) 55 degree day! Mustard blooming everywhere and it’s just beautiful! I live on the CA coast and get to have a year round garden. Happy winter to all!!

  788. 788

    Rebecca Margolese-Malin says

    Beautiful day today but 2 inches of snow last Thursday. So who knows?? There are daffodils and the Bradford pears are blooming in the Piedmont of NC.

    Delois D. says

    Sunny this weekend and warmer. No snow recently, but in Michigan that is subject to change. Thanks

    Pam says

    Spring has not arrived in Chicago, but no complaints about our mild winter here. Still, heading south in a few days to look for spring in South Carolina.

  797. 797

    Dea Edmondson says

    Felt like spring today, upper 50s and low 60s. Daffodils and quince are blooming, forsythia is ready to bloom. I’m sure we’ll get more winter weather but these breaks are great for getting some early pruning done.

  798. 798

    Sharron McAvoy says

    In this Texas swamp, we are about to float but do see some King Alfred Daffodils and yellow jonquils.

    Still snow, and then some. Thanks for all you do and share with us. You brighten the winter weather for all of us, Kevin. Thank you!

    Well…the early blooming shrubs are out and daffodils are coming out of the ground….but, not Spring yet here is western Arkansas.

  802. 802

    Dana Berbette says

    In Mississippi after so much rain, we are row,row, rowing our boats. The bright green mixer could help me put Spring in my kitchen.

  803. 803

    Sheryl says

    Today certainly felt like spring here in northern vermont…but we have plenty of snow still on the ground and I was snowboarding. I’m not ready for spring yet – looking forward to a little more snow fun before the growing season!!

  804. 804

    MpT says

    Im from the tropics living now in the east coast so 50F is winter for me; 4 more months for spring please *~*

  805. 805

    Nancy says

    I’m in Mississippi, and we go from 27 degrees in the morning to 60 in the afternoon! We just flooded and had 5 feet of water in our downstairs, but we had a little warning & called a moving company. So we’re really ready for spring down here! Looks like it’ll be a little bit longer though!

  807. 807

    Troy Curliss says

    I live in Virginia. Spring was here, then we got snow! Two days later it’s back! So yes, our typical spring has sprung.

  808. 808

    Diana Jauchen says

    Yes, spring has definitely arrived in Santa Barbara. I see new growth everywhere! We have pretty perfect year round gardening weather!❤️

  809. 809

    Thos says

    Here in Ky the daffodils are a couple of inches tall. So Mother Nature tells us when spring as around the corner.

  810. 810

    Laurie Rice says

    We are still in the throes of a weird winter. Not much snow, temps up and down. I worry that the trees are going to suffer again this year. I’ll be happy to feel the sun’s warmth on my face but know it is not going to happen as soon as I would wish.

  811. 811

    Joey B says

    Here in Nashville it’s a roller coaster when it comes to winter weather and spring is sprung but cold weather is due later this week.

  814. 814

    It’s 50 degrees in Waukesha, Wisconsin today. We know it is a teaser but bring it on.
    Thanks, Kevin.

  815. 815

    Meredith Hill says

    Here in South West Washington State we get a lot of rain this time of year. It was sunny and felt like spring for 3 days this week. My husband even mowed our front lawn 2 days ago. It rained heavily today, and we are expecting the weather to improve next week. No sign of our spring wild flowers yet.

  816. 816

    Linda in Ohio says

    About a week ago, I noticed for the first time this year, that the quality of the light was changing from a blue tint to more gold. One of the first harbingers of spring! Look forward to it every year!

  817. 817

    Jenny says

    Still have snow/ice in the shadows and sprouts in the sunshine. Snow tomorrow, oh IOWA! Waiting for Spring!

  818. 818

    Audrey Popp says

    early spring has sprung in zone 6. Leaf buds are swelling on the roses and hydrangea, snowdrops are blooming and hellebore are blooming. Daffodils are still just leaves, but getting taller with each sunny day.

  819. 819

    Nancy Hansen says

    We just enjoyed a beautiful spring weekend in the 50’s here in Chicago… but a snowstorm is forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday so we’ll be seeing more of the fluffy white stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to win that lovely green Kitchenaid mixer… I enjoy getting your emails, Kevin!

  820. 820

    Merry says

    Well our specialty this year, near Boston, is “rain/snow”. Its really strange – the two come down together! Not sure how the clouds arrange this.. but at least it wont be a dry Spring!

    Cheers Kevin, for a very fun website! And yep… starting those milk jugs any day now!

  821. 821

    Cleanne says

    Today was 55 outside. Tomorrow morning e are under storm warnings. Lots of snow predicted.
    Time to stay inside and bake.

    Time to stay inside and bake.

  823. 823

    Lauren says

    “If you don’t like the weather here, wait a day.”
    Because it’s not spring today but it might be tomorrow, and then it might not be again the next day. It’s accurate.

  825. 825

    Charlotte says

    Hi. We had a beautiful day here in Quadeville Ontario Canada It was all Sunshine& melting snow and ice from the roofs from the last snowfall & tomorrow is to be great too. Sure hope I can win that Green Machine I don’t own one so would love to win it. Good Luck Everyone!! Take care Kevin. Charlotte

  826. 826

    Phyllis Dykstra-Vander Linden says

    We have lots of snow. Piles where it was moved to and the entire area is white.

  827. 827

    Maxine Goodyear says

    Snow beginning to melt here in Iowa. The last two days the temperature was in the 40’s and 50’s, but more snow predicted for Monday night and into Tuesday. I am ready for Spring.

  828. 828

    Brian T. says

    It is still cool in NJ so no spring yet, but it is getting close. Thankfully there hasn’t been much winter here this year, but things can change in a heartbeat. Thanks for all your wonderful things to share.

  829. 829

    Barb Crombie says

    Very West Coast Canada – Victoria is awash with pink and white blooms on cherry and Camélia trees, and of course the purple crocuses and white snowdrops are up as well. From a former Alberta I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this! Thanks Kevin for the fresh air your emails always bring, no matter the season.

  832. 832

    Patti A. Dufault says

    In the 50’s tomorrow in Worcester, Massachusetts, but that doesn’t mean squat. Some of our worst snow storms have been in March!

  833. 833

    georgetta garcia says

    Spring looks like it may be coming sooner than later. Daffodils are pushing their way through and my magnolia tree is starting to bloom.

  834. 834

    N. MacGregor says

    I live an hour north of Toronto, Ontario. Today it was unseasonably warm (40 F) for the third week in February and the snow was melting although there is still lots of snow on the ground. No signs of emerging spring flowers or buds opening on our trees. Also, I haven’t seen any sign of the returning spring birds (normally the Robins return around the middle of March).
    Personally, I can’t wait for spring to arrive and in my book it can’t return soon enough.
    BTW – the bright green mixer reminds me of emerging spring plants and leaves opening up on the trees. I would love to look at the bright green mixer sitting on my counter to remind me that spring is around the corner

  835. 835

    Rutha says

    In the metropolitan Atlanta area the weather can best be described as “Iffy”. and “wishy washy”, ranging from cold to rainy to blustery to warm and old man Winter is valiantly holding on. But, I know that Spring in all of its beauty and glory eagerly waits on the horizon and will soon be here!

  836. 836

    Debbie Creagh says

    Today was nice, around 55 degrees, however, it will get cold again over the next few days in Kentucky. No matter–my seeds are in their plastic milk jugs, preparing for what comes their way, waiting for true spring!

  838. 838

    ~Loa says

    Wow! Many reports of weather for the great green giveaway. Spring here near Portland, OR. Daffies have been up a few weeks, and crocuses right behind. Now if we could coax the sun to chase the rain clouds away more days in a row . . . . .

  839. 839

    Carol Reynolds says

    Daffodils out of the ground with buds, crocus and amaryllis are poking out…spring must be on the way in Oklahoma!

  840. 840

    Sharon H. says

    In the Tampa bay area on Florida’s Gulf coast..Spring= baseball spring training, 78degree plus weather , “snow birds” & “spring-breakers”, increased traffic , outdoor art shows and markets & festivals…. $$$ =GREEN!

  843. 843

    Bridgit Newberg says

    Spring is not quite here in Denver. The weather is all over the place! I can finally see patches of my yard, where the snow has melted away. Saturday, we were in the high 50’s. The low tomorrow night is forecast to be 11 degrees Fahrenheit. I can’t seem to figure out, how to type the small “O” as in to symbolize “degrees”, sorry! 😀 I’m going to wait to put my elderberry cuttings outside after tomorrow night in fear of it being too cold for them. This is my first time attempting to root cuttings. The grape hyacinths have been popped out of the ground since Fall, so I don’t count those, as being a sign of spring.

  845. 845

    Nancy says

    Spring is just around the corner. Isabella (my cat) and I were out today checking out the garden……there is work to be done !!

  849. 849

    Stephanie says

    No snow around my neck of the woods. Very little this winter in fact, and I miss it. Shoveling is tedious certainly but I always love the excitement of a good snowstorm, and this winter so far has been a bust. Maybe March will be different!

  850. 850

    Morven R Baker says

    Perky yellow daffodils poked their heads out from under a thin coating of snow this past weekend, much to the delight of visiting little ones from the NC coast. The smallest snowmen ever were lovingly crafted and displayed with pride on top of the grill.

  851. 851

    Mary Ellen says

    Tidewater Virginia’s first snowfall of the year is still melting in the woods, but my daffodils have budded and some are about to open!

  853. 853

    Vivi says

    Still waiting for spring to be in the air here in upstate NY.
    No major snowstorms and fairly mild temps for February
    …and you know what they say about March “in like a lion and out like a lamb”
    I’d like one good snowstorm and thenSpring can arrive with all its beauty

    Typical Michigan weather, went out and did some garden clean up on the beautiful 40+ days. Now snow coming our way again this week. Can’t wait for spring!

  864. 864

    Lori Schmidt says

    Nope spring has not sprung yet, we are still riding the roller coaster of crazy weather here in Indiana. Can’t wait to get into my garden!!

  865. 865

    Geri says

    A few bulbs pushing up. Winter sowing jugs outside, previously covered with snow, awaiting spring. Spreading the word by giving programs on winter sowing. My maiden name was Patrick so don’t you think I need a green mixer?

  866. 866

    Pat Grimes says

    It’s really beautiful in Florida we had a very mild winter. All the azaleas and trees are blooming.
    It has really been nice this year except for the Pine Pollen that has made everything yellow.

  867. 867

    Amy G says

    I hear birds singing in Ohio, so yes, spring is within reach, despite the piles of snow still on the ground!

  868. 868

    Here in the Southfield Florida it should be perpetual spring but someone insulted Mother Nature! Oh well !!

  869. 869

    Marina says

    Spring is almost around the corner here, in NC. The grass is beautiful green, my daffodils are out, but it is freezing cold every morning still. Not long though. Love the green color of that mixer!

    Here in Baltimore we’ve hardly had any snow at all and I’m so disappointed! Would love to see a nice March storm 🙂

    Susy says

    Snow is still on the ground here in the Chicago area, it was wonderfully warm and sunny yesterday but the cold has returned and this week more snow is expected, yuck! In my garden the snowdrops are up and budded but not blooming and the Helleborus have very large buds that I recovered with leaf mulch. Seeds are ready for planting for this years veggie garden!

  872. 872

    Jean says

    No signs of spring here. Still cold and damp. Lots of wind off the water.
    Love reading your recipes even though I don’t try them all!
    Thanks!

    The weather this weekend was AMAZING here in the Midwest. Looking ahead, more cold and snow. [sigh]

  874. 874

    It sure felt like spring yesterday with near 60 degree temps! Sadly the rest of this week is in the 30’s.

    Phyllis Bachinski says

    Here on the southern CT shoreline (New Haven County) we have had a very mild winter….today is reaching 50!!!

    Seems like winter never arrived in CT this year, and some days feel like spring. Mildest winter in a long time.

  877. 877

    Elfrieda says

    Central Florida temps are crazy. Mid-40’s, then mid-60’s and even up to 80 again ! Poor plants. they don’t know whether to spring forward or hide !

  879. 879

    Barbara Chamberlain says

    It has been a roller coaster here with temperatures fluctuating widely. Some snowdrops are up, some early daffodil foliage peeking out, hellebore buds starting to unfurl. Some snow still around with more expected soon. So both winter and spring here.

  881. 881

    Susan says

    It snowed yesterday where I live and I shall have to go shovel again! We get Chinook winds that blow through in Calgary , Alberta so I’m hoping one to come our way soon !

  883. 883

    Julia Hofley says

    Slight melt of snow yesterday with a sunny, 50 degree day near Detroit. A walk around the garden with my hubby and a glass of wine delighted us with daffodil leaves tipping up out of the soil and hellebore buds and actual blooms of white on H. ‘Jacob’. It’s so different when you get up close to the flower beds and see what is actually happening, not just looking out the windows from the house. So many shrubs have budded up including our forsythia collection. Time to spray with Plantskydd animal repellent to help them make it through the rest of the winter, and not become an appetizer for our four legged friends. LOVE that stunningly green mixer…that’s a beauty Kevin! Perfect for celebrating Spring!

  887. 887

    Sheron Bradley says

    It has been a very warm and dry winter here in Reno. Nice, but worrisome for the snow pack.

    Maureen Ardzeck says

    Back & forth weather here too in NW Indiana! I should’ve worked outside yesterday because it was in the 50’s but not today! It’s in the lower 30’s! I do see my daffodils poking through! So not too much longer & spring will have sprung!

  891. 891

    Margaret says

    Daffodils and hyacinths have pushed through so have to go and clean up some flower beds that didn’t get done in fall because of hip surgery.

  892. 892

    It is a roller coaster of temperatures here. 60 degrees one day and 28 the next!! Poor daffs heads are bowed but green shoots everywhere!

    Winter, but with some 60 degree days.
    The usual early bulbs are out.

    Vonda Gunnells says

    I live in Tennessee, so today we have spring, tomorrow will be snow, the day after spring again!! I’m waiting patiently for tax day, April 15, we can officially plant outside then! And pray Mother Nature obeys the rule!!

  897. 897

    Julie says

    Here in mid Illinois, we have 2-3 warm days then back to freezing. If I want to see flowers, I have to get the seed catalogs out! Come on spring!

    No snow in London o far this winter. We have geraniums blooming in a sheltered spot near the house and the narcissi have been in bloom for days.

    Still have lots of snow in Southwest Montana. Baby calves are coming in spite of the cold, so spring must be close.

    Hello Kevin! Goodness, that’s a lovely shade of green, just like my daffodil stems! Yes, we have spring here in my Santa Clarita, CA home, but still snow on the ground at my cabin in Pine Mountain Club, CA. In fact, I was just there over the weekend and it snowed Saturday!

  915. 915

    Louise Narine says

    Hi Kevin! Here in Saskatchewan, spring seems to have arrived a month early at least… there are 2 weeks upcoming with around zero weather, sometimes above. We had to bring in all the frozen foods stored outdoors before they thawed – that usually doesn’t happen until mid March. Thanks for your frequent giveaways!

  916. 916

    Meleah Joy says

    We are in the Sacramento area of NorCal and spring has sprung! It’s slow going, I think the blossoms wanted to wait a bit longer but the weather isn’t having it. Had to begin watering the garden, but just harvested a huge broccoli and we still have lettuce! Our peach tree’s pink blossoms just popped open this weekend…! Here’s to hoping for no frost now!

  918. 918

    SHARRON ONEIL says

    We are waiting for some green–like your green machine! Every day is different, frost and cold, then sunny and warm, rain,hail,wind, and that is typical. However, I did see a few crocus popping up so I think we will have spring! Thanks for your great blog, Kevin.

  919. 919

    Ellen says

    Spring is beginning it’s yearly awakening in the Chicagoland area. My crocuses have started coming up and some tulips and daffodils you can see about an 1/8 or 1/4 of an inch of their head! Of course tomorrow we are expecting 10 inches of snow so let’s see how it plays out!

  920. 920

    Debbie says

    Hi Kevin
    Washington State here- we have some daffodils and crocus popping up but still have freezing weather in the mornings warming to 50 in the afternoon. Rains and still on the way so we aren’t safe yet.

  921. 921

    Mark says

    Hi, Kevin! Sure enjoy hearing from you and checking out the great recipes and ideas.
    In Honolulu, we really don’t have seasons but we have had more rain than usual on this dry side of the mountains and it’s great to see everything turn green

  922. 922

    Spring looks like its peeking out here in the PNW! My Plum Trees are budding beautiful pink

    Linda Strangio says

    Well fellas, I’m upstate NY, Lake George region and it’s far from spring here. Although it’s a balmy 50% right now but it won’t last long. So, maybe this time I’ll win the mean green machine.

  925. 925

    Sheri Reeve says

    Yes and No… we have flowers blooming and snow falling!! It can be 70 degrees one day and 23 the next. Welcome to North Carolina!!!

    diana cardenas says

    Spring has come early in New Jersey ,it’s February 24th and we already have Small perennials popping up green leaves. I heard just on the radio yesterday that it’s the warmest winter on record in this part of the country.

  927. 927

    Rosie S says

    If -12 last week is considered Spring…..but today, the sun is out and it is a balmy 38 degrees, I saw a guy in shorts, so Spring MUST be here in Minnesota! 🙂 Even I don’t wear much of a coat if it is above 30! There is still snow on the ground, and more forecasted, but we feel like we are getting closer to cold, but not REALLY cold, weather. MY version of Spring these days.

  929. 929

    Petera Mironchik says

    It is February 24th in Huntington LI and 58 degrees. The Witch Hazel is in bloom and has been for the last 2 weeks. Yesterday found crocuses blooming in the back garden by my compost bins. Their colors poke up every year in between the pavers. A little early this year. Hopefully an early Spring.

    Donna Swain-McHughes says

    I live in Florida and although we aren’t as cold as the rest of the country, we are having a weird winter. It is in the mid 70’s today, but by Friday they say we will be struggling to make it out of the 50’s. It has been doing this back and forth thing for about a month so our plants don’t know what to do. But the pollen is aflowing, so I guess you could say Spring has sprung.

    Yesterday felt like on the verge of summer…tomorrow 6-12″ of snow projected for the Chicagoland area. Ready for spring!

    The blossoming forsythia, daffodills, redbuds, hawthorne, and hyacinths all tell me that February is the new April in NC.

    Connie Burg says

    Beautiful sunshine today, 47 degrees in Buffalo, NY. However, snowstorm coming next week. Below zero 3days ago. Looking forward to planting season and eating the fruits of our labor.

    Janet says

    We aren’t digging, but there is definitely snow on the ground. It’ll be an early spring though.

    Hi Kev, 50 degrees and sunny Sunday, got lots done outside. Today 37 degrees & drizzling rain. Expected snowfall tomorrow 8inches here in NW INDIANA.

    We (and our snowshoes, new last winter) are still waiting for a snowstorm from which to dig out!

    Hi, Kevin,
    Still winter in Maryland with fluctuating temperatures but we’ve been spared any real snow.
    But it is Spring in my heart!

    Sandy Goldsmith says

    Here in North GA…we’ll have one more big winter push just as the daffodils bloom and then, mercifully comes Spring.

    Linda Plumley says

    We are somewhere in the middle of winter and spring here in Barboursville, WV. No snow, but gray and cold and absolutely ready for spring! lol

    Robin Shelly says

    I’m visiting family in Lincoln City OR and seeing daffodils, crocus, and cherry trees in bloom! It’s really SPRING HERE!!

  949. 949

    Roe says

    My spring flowers have all burst through the ground, and soon my grass will need to be mowed. I spent 2.5 hrs. yesterday picking up twigs from the front yard and still more to do in the back. I live in S. Jersey and the Philadelphia Flower Show begins this weekend. That is always a sure sign that spring is just around the corner!

  950. 950

    Nicole says

    It’s raining here in northern IL now, but I have heard we are in for more snow tomorrow. So spring is not here quite yet! More time for garden dreaming…

    Marianna says

    A beautiful 40 degrees in NW WI but winter is back tomorrow with highs in the teens and twentys. Still plenty of snow on the ground.
    The longer days are great though!

    Robyn says

    Spring is always in the air as far as I can see…It has to to with attitude and positive outlook, both of which I work on daily.

  956. 956

    Becky says

    Both! Here in NC we’ve had daffodils up for weeks, and just this weekend got hit with our first proper snow in a year.

    Anna Sporay says

    It depends on the day…this morning everything was iced, but now it is 55 degrees. All in all, a very mild winter though!

    No snow here outside of Boston. 60 degrees today and lots of sunshine, and word has it crocuses have been spotted! I saw some skunk cabbage coming up while walking around a local pond yesterday. It’s spring!

    Rebecca says

    In Indiana, it was in the 50’s on Sunday, but I hear the temps are to drop and snow is a comin’!

    Dana Hutchinson says

    Hi Kevin, the snow has melted here in the Cereal City, but I have a funny feeling it’s not the last of it. We’ll probably get hit hard one last time as usual, I’m so ready for Spring I’m already itching to get out to start planting my vegetable gardens (we have two)! Bring on the sunshine baby!

  967. 967

    Susan says

    Snowdrops are blooming, and the temperatures are mild here in New England, but are these things to be trusted in February? Time will tell. 😉

  968. 968

    Jeri says

    Here in Coles County, east-central Illinois, spring arrived in January, left, and brought snow, then, came back again this month.
    We have been experiencing climate change here for the past 20+ years, each time it is cold and then “unseasonably” warm again, all the bulbs and flowering bushes begin to sprout. At first only once a winter beginning ca. 1997, now, it’s twice. At the time, my late father-in-law, born in 1914, said in his living memory he had never seen the like. Now, it’s expected.
    Today, what came up in January is both cold burned and re-sprouting, in February. Likely, we’ll get more snow, and it will start all over again.
    Plays havoc with my attempted winter-sowing. 🙂

    LeeAnne Bloye says

    OMG, I’m so late! Still about 6 inches of snow in the yard here in Newmarket, Ontario. Spring is still a distant promise. Like that often mentioned light at the end of the tunnel. Probably can’t really be permitted in the draw being a Canadian, though if luck be a lady, it will be sent to my American friend Maggie who loves making bread!

  971. 971

    Marian C says

    It was 62 degrees here in Boston MA. yesterday. I pulled out the rake and tried to clear an opening for the crocuses and the snow drops… that’s how anxious I am for Spring. Though parts of the ground are still frozen.

    Debbie says

    We didn’t get much snow this year here i n Western Massachusetts, but Winter surely isn’t done with us yet. ..Still, I wish for Spring to show it’s bright face.

    Pat Crosby says

    I just went out under cover of darkness with my flashlight. There I found crocus, daffodil, tulips, and snow drops popping up. I also saw one slug slugging along. This is in Finger Lakes region of NY.

    Expecting more snow in northern Illinois. That’s why I start my own seeds-at least it looks like Spring under the grow lights in the basement.

    Hi Kevin—YES…it’s almost summer here 80’s and everything starting to bloom…It’s almost scary…..as we need rain very badly, only 60 % of our yearly rain total…So I am hoping for cooler weather soon with some rain.

    Hi Kevin, I’m posting this Monday evening. Doing a new baby watch which is awesome! So pleased it took me an hour to get to the comment section (just kidding, but close)! It’s all those excellent recipes (Hello Dolly’s anyone?). Can’t wait to try the almond gluten free recipe here.

    Samantha Gray says

    Spring has sprung here on the North Shore of Long Island. Crocus and hellebore are blooming, forsythia looks as if it will flower in next week or so and it was 62 degrees today. We are praying March will be a lamb, not a lion, and really cold weather will stay away from all this budding, blossoming goodness!

    Jan R. says

    Hardly had any winter here in Maryland this year, but I am NOT complaining! Still some cold weather to come but we’ve had so many mild days, bulbs are coming up and saw a bunch of robins in the yard. Hoping to have spring really arrive early!

    Theresa M says

    February thaw in MN. I am not fooled. Our Spring doesn’t start til mid-April…with planting in mid-May. (March is one of our snowiest months). Playing with charts and seed catalogs until then.

    Linda says

    Yes. Wait, No. Yes. Well maybe. We’ve had some beautiful weather but still have some freezing temperatures. So it depends on the day 🙂 living in the east end of Columbia River Gorge.

    Dianne says

    Spring has begun to arrive here in NW Georgia. Daffodils, forsythia, and early-blooming cherry trees are starting to bloom. In February, we’ve had near-record rainfall, a little snow, and temperatures fluctuating between wintry and springlike.

  1013. 1013

    Nancy says

    We had an early snow in November. In the following months we have had more rain than non rainy days, and only a few days of snow. The last few weeks have gone from highs of 55 down to highs of upper 20’s. I’m ready for spring!

  1015. 1015

    Sarah says

    It’s been such a warm winter in Virginia, it feels like it’s been spring for months –without all the lovely green growth. A gloomy dark spring that breeds mosquitoes…

  1016. 1016

    Lisa Steinkopf says

    Unfortunately, no spring in sight other than winter aconites. They will be covered with snow here in Michigan by tomorrow. Oh, well. That green mixer would make it feel like spring here on my counter, though!

    Hi Kevin: My neighbor tells me that spring has sprung in our WI neighborhood where she is watching over our house. I am lucky to be in Florida waiting to get on a cruise ship to the Caribbean where I am sure it will be spring like. She says it is 50 degrees with snow to come later in the week and back to winter.

    In Western New York State we are looking at another round of winter to arrive over the next 2 days. Snow accumulating 5-6 inches off Lakes Erie and Ontario. Temperatures falling into the teens with overnight lows around 10. So NO spring here. A bright green mixer might make me feel like there is hope for spring though.
