I am sure that you can produce an excellent e-card with your own pictures, Mark?

I have just viewed the weather report and forecast following the evening news and see that the east of England has temperatures of 3 - 4 celcius while we had 10 - 11. Around midday I was working in the garden in my T-shirt, perfectly comfortably.

The only down side of the day was the number of thorns in my hands from pruning a large berberis.

The snow is melting fast here, thanks to a very dark, wet day..... everything looks miserable and unhappy though.  :(

Our snow is just about gone but everything has that flat, half dead look to it... however the Crocuses are fairly leaping out of the ground and into flower along with a wee Iris we spotted yesterday, we lost the label years ago and can't remember what it is... I'll get David to take a pix a post for i.d.

Your snow is melting and here the next snow is coming. Now we have more than 1m snow and we expect 50cm today!
A pic from Saturday. All my flowering Galanthus and Cyclamen are under deep snow. And now I am thinking on an avalanche.

For the last two days the temperatures have been up and I have been able to garden  ;D  Hopefully today is going to be fine and I can clear more of the garden and reveal the hundreds of bulbs that are bursting forth.  Amazing how quickly Crocus respond to an increase in temperature, and finally the reticulate Iris are making an appearance.

Hans H. ... I spend all winter thinking of you and your avalanche mountain..... I was hoping that this year you might be safe, but still the danger continues with the new snow. I hope you stay safe!  :-*

Amazing how quickly the snow disappeared here overnight. Pots of crocuses in the frame have gone from buds to open blooms in 2 days.  I hope some survive for Dunblane on Saturday.  The honey bees were out today so there may not be any pollen left but I do not want to take them into the greenhouse too soon in case they get too warm and go over quickly.
