Near the office on the outskirts of York a couple have bloomed. At home there's no chance of the stunted flowers showing there faces until April, which is the latest I've known.
Just wondered how the Daffs were doing around the UK, as I know some of you (Will) note the date of the first one. Graham, don't think you need to reply on this one.

To keep on topic, more snow for much of the night, but little accumulation. The radar suggests heavier falls than actual amounts. Snowing here in York, but not settling.

A few started flowering 2 weeks ago, but now look very sorry for
themselves, wilting and jaded. Bet they wish they hadn't bothered now,
but waited for a definite sign of spring. Would daffodils hold back till
July waiting for some warmer weather?
