Winter Will Not Loose It's Grip?

Hi,  Again, snow and on St. Patrick's Day  no less, and it is mid March. However winter will loose it's grip and spring will arrive, probably fast. When I say fast, the temperature will suddenly shoot up to give us a ninety degree day(s) that will floor us. We can have some sudden spikes in high temperature in late March and early April that take us by surprise. Can't wait though is in the back of my mind, as I will take a shot at summer now. At this juncture our ground is still frozen underneath, especially on northern slopes and fully shaded areas. However our Crocus, Daffodills and Snow Drops are all up through the snow of yesterday. The Crocus have been blooming for days as have the Snow Drops, although none of these are butterfly nectar sources. Keep looking, Spring is just around the corner! Have a great day, Denis

 I have included quite a few Great Spangled Fritillary Butterflies because they are one of the most seen here.
