Spring before the snow

More tiny little flowers blooming in our backyard, although snow is forecast for later today. The temperatures should remain above freezing, so there shouldn’t be any accumulation. It was 85 F yesterday and will get down to 37 F today and as low as 26 F in the coming days. This is the craziest weather I’ve ever seen in DC.

The crocuses are coming!! posted earlier:

Wow, a crazy swing in temperature! At least you have a little bit of color to enjoy.

Crazy weather is on the menu for us also. It was in the upper 50"S F a couple of days ago, now we are looking at heavy snow on Saturday and temperatures near 0°F by Tuesday.

Yellow is always a nice color that represents spring. The drastic change in temperature is scary. That's when and how people get sick. Take care ! ~VVVV~

Can’t believe it was that warm down there.

Those remarkable temperature contrasts might test even these hardy little flowers.

Neat shot of these early bloomers. Wild temperature swings for sure.

Beautiful sign of spring. Can't believe you had 85f yesterday and yet snow forecast for today and 37f. Weather all over is weird. V

Freezing rain yesterday, snow tomorrow. I wish I had sweet spring flowers too. March is always the longest month to get through.
