I live in central NC and we have not had "real winter" either. Last year we had four small snows (alot for us) but this year I havent even seen a snowflake. For the most part the temps have been above normal. IF it's going to snow, I wish it would go ahead and do it because soon I will be ready for spring.

Speaking of spring, about three to four weeks ago during 60 to 70 temps (too warm), "my" bluebirds were flying around and inspecting two bluebird houses. I think they were thinking about spring also. This week the temps are 45 to 55 in daytime but I just noticed that it's to be 60 tomorrow and then down some.

My daffs are already blooming as is my Sweet Breath of Spring bush.
