Last year we had record snowfall, record cold temps and I went a week without power, at Christmas, due to an ice storm. I've never seen so many school cancelations. The cold even affected a lot of the flower trees and bushes. I had about 2 blooms on my forsythia bushes and zero fruit on my apple and pear trees. We didn't have a late frost, so the only thing I could think was the trees and bushes were in shock. My daffs were very late in blooming and they even had to delay opening the new Flint Farmer's Market for about a month because the ground was frozen for so long, they couldn't complete construction in time for the scheduled opening.

This year we really haven't had a lot of snow and this week has been the worst, for cold. I keep hoping for an early Spring.
