The local meteorologist tells me this is a 'La Nina Year'. This is suppose to indicate for those of us in the South a drier and warmer year. As of early March we have had some pretty cold days in January and the wettest February around here (my rain gauge had 10.16" for Feb., 2018) since records were kept, going back to 1898.
Whatever was supposed to happen or not happen did not seem to follow the plan. Tough to be a meteorologist when it comes to long term or even seasonal forecasts I think.
Whatever the cause, the daffodils came up about 2 weeks late, they usually bloom in the first week of February, peaking on Mr. Lincoln's birthday. On time or not - the Tulip Tree (or saucer magnolia) in our side yard can always be counted on to give a dazzling show for about a week, whether the weather and rain do what they're supposed to do or not.
Very wet soil and rain showers moving off provided some nice optics from our yard in early March. See for your self.
