Earliest daffodils ever

Daffodils blooming on February 19. That has never happened. March flowers blooming a month early.

Looking back at the mild weather the last few months......
In November, there were 21 days with above normal temps and 9 with below.
In December, there were 23 days with above normal temps and 8 with below.
In January, there were 22 days with above normal temps and 9 with below.
So far in February, there have been 10 days with above normal temps and 8 with below.

2 winters ago Louisville had 40 days with at least a trace of snow.

Last winter Louisville had 45 days with at least a trace of snow.

SO far this winter there have been 10 days with at least a trace of snow.

I had a crocus try to bloom a week ago (just before the last cold snap) and robins have been hanging around my yard for the last 3-4 weeks.

That is frightening. Global warming, or El Nino?

from JB.... no global warming since only the US, parts of Canada and the Arctic were above normal this winter. The rest of the northern hemisphere was colder than normal as was much of the southern hemisphere.... LaNina to a certain extent...

I have seen some bugs outside, especially flies, off and on all winter long...which is just crazy. Makes me worried how this summer will be...

Also, we've had daffodils, or March Lillies as we call them (maybe we should start calling them February Lillies, lol), blooming down here for at least a week now. I have never seen anything like that before. Just odd...very odd.

My mother & father were married on Feb. 17, 1946 near Seymour, Indiana. She carried fresh daffodils which were blooming outside at the time.
