We had a freak snowstorm yesterday. Three and a half inches accumulated before it was frozen in place by a few hours of freezing rain. It turned back into snow and showers fell through last night and into this morning. This is one of the latest snowfalls I've experienced since I moved to New York, and the second-latest snow accumulation. It is definitely the latest day with complete snow cover.
P.S. We lost a lot of branches due to the weight of the snow.

We went from above normal temperatures to below normal temperatures. The past couple of weeks have been cool (highs in the 30s and 40s Fahrenheit). It has snowed three or four times. It is incredibly dry. A burn ban is effect in our county - something that - as far as I know - has never happened this early.

Warmest March on record. More days with high temperatures in the 60s and 70s than in the 30s and 40s (average). Almost no snow. A frost on March 27 is reported to have killed 90% of this year's peach and cherry crop. No Crocus has been blooming for more than a week. I have never seen the grass green, the flowers bloom, or the trees grow leaves this early.

We got four centimeters of snow in the last eight days, but none of it lasted more than a couple of hours. Most days the high temperatures have been in the forties or fifties, with a couple in the 60s. If it hadn't been so windy, it would have been perfect. Even with the wind they were nice days. The 'Tricolor' Crocuses that started blooming way back in early February are still going strong, much to my surprise. They are gorgeous. The few Crocus ancyrensis 'Golden Bunch' that still bloom (most were eaten by chickens in consecutive years and it killed them) started blooming in the past week - I'm not sure which day. The tiny little snowdrops have been blooming for weeks. We're up to about 25% of our average annual snowfall, but even that is misleading considering how few days we've had snow, and considering that even when we've had snow, it was usually less than an inch.

The four inches of snow we got during this year's "big storm" lasted less than four days. Other than those four days, we have not had a single day with more than 1.5 inches of snow on the ground. Five of the days with complete snow cover were days on which the ground was covered with less than 1 inch of snow.
Meanwhile, the warm weather continues. Surely we'll get some more snow - we may even get quite a bit more - but, at this point, we are at 20% of our average annual snowfall. Without a couple of giant storms, we will end up with significantly less snow this winter than any winter since I've lived here (8 total).
