Not sure about seasonal anomalies,records and stats- I go more by what I see. First cut of the lawn was mid April which was about normal. Snowflakes on or around opening day. Had to cover the hostas and up coming plants last week due to potential freeze which is typical. Would not be surprised to see another before were clear for the season-hoping not as I would prefer the warmth but I know how things roll around here. No question it was a non winter.
