Ha! No one was more surprised than me to see these little babies. Funnily, I never see them sprout; they only ever appear fully formed. So I’m guessing they actually ‘grow’ under the snow. (Which we here in the ‘south’ of the region still have some of… in the shady bits mostly!)
The white stuff not gone entirely (there are still some mounds and large patches) but the rain and mild weather has put a big dent wintry residue, so my shovelling muscles have developed a short memory.

The first!! You must be living in the banana belt. We still have mounds of snow.

And so it begins…
I’m inclined to say it felt like this winter flew by… but I’m guessing your snow shovelling muscles may disagree?

Funny how that works. It’s a ruse, so they’ll sign up again for next year…!
Snowdrops? Already! I swear you must live in a different country!
Ha! Yes, well, I’ve heard Ontario described that way, or words to that effect… ;)
