Very early spring never has the landscape looking at it's
best with all that dead vegetation around. However I do
think that things are looking even more 'washed out' this
year. I guesss far more snow cover and general cold
than normal has taken its toll.

I've noticed that after a long spell under snow the grass seems to
look a paler green than usual. Maybe that's because even in winter a
little photosynthesis is usually going on, but obviously not when the
grass is under snow?

Apparently in 1963 when the grass finally emerged from
in some locations 2 months under snow, it was completely yellow.
