It is 66 at 1pm as I write this and I just came in, exhausted already, and contemplating putting my shorts on. This is our warmest weekend since Thanksgiving. We've obviously had a cold winter because I see no evidence of any blooms anywhere.
I am amazed that you have blooms. Perhaps your more inland location has led to higher highs. Down here we are budded and waiting, but another day like today may be all it takes.
Sure wish my Edgeworthia was starting to open!! I did see one crocus up this afternoon. The Yorktown library parking lot has a lot of Viburnum along the edge...full of buds ready to pop.

I cheated a bit on the edgworthia, I took the picture this time last year down at the Virginia Tech research station in Virginia Beach.
Oh my my my. It was -1 here last night. Banging my head against the wall, shivering beneath my blanket.
