Pictures, Snow, and More!

I finally got the pictures into electronic form!

Crocus chrysanthus 'Blue Pearl':









Crocus tommasinianus 'Ruby Giant':



This is one of the aberrants:




In other news, we got a little bit of snow yesterday evening. It's the first frozen precipitation since early-to-mid March. That is odd for this time of year, because we usually alternate between rain and snow until April. Nonetheless, we had a heavy dusting this morning when I looked out the window.

Through 5 April A.D. 2007:

Days with snow cover: 89
Days with complete snow cover: 64
Total snowfall: 47 inches (120 centimeters)
Maximum snow depth: 24 inches (60 centimeters)
Lowest temperature: -2° Fahrenheit (-19° Celsius)

...okay that's enough information for one posting. My mind is still racing with thoughts, but I'll save them for another time.
