after the cold and snow left (melted fast!) here's how plants fared. Daffodils still not out yet



Tulips?



Shrubs have leaves



little flowers



yesterday a narrow but intense rainband passed. Caused a thunderstorm further west, but not thunder here. Felt like a summer storm by rainfall intensity and duration. After it ended. Looking north



east

It is hard to believe the landscape in your area when you consider the latitude. It just still looks like winter. You are probably the most winter looking locale right now all around the globe at your latitude. Same applies here of course.

Philadelphia looked pretty far along in your pictures, and we're less than a week behind. I wonder how the plains look at 39-40N.

I don't think so, they didn't get affected by the cold snap like you guys did and they had a warm March as well.

Midwest at the same latitude tends as the interior Northeast tends to get somewhat colder winters but a faster spring warm-up. Western Great Plains I remember seeing a lot of bare vegetation mid-May, but it's at elevation.

But you're on the coast, which is milder than anywhere else east of the Rockies at the same latitude.

Good point; I'm thinking about averages.

Not now. Everything got fried and it has been stopped in its tracks. After these two weeks we will be lucky to equal last year.

It went down to 20F in southern NJ with the sandy soil. Just happens to be where all the produce farms and orchards are as well.
