    I've seen snow in Little Rock as late as April 19 on 2 occasions since moving here 45 years ago...and my cousin in Erie, Pennsylvania, doesn't
    plant hers until after Mother's Day.

    My flower gardens usually consist of things that grow from bulbs, so they
    were planted once and then come up when they decide to. :) Most of them
    seem to be able to stand some cold after they have started up, just as long
    as it does not last too long.

    This cold won't last that long...they're talking of a threat of severe weather here Monday into Tuesday...with rain to snow today (Friday) into Saturday.

    As for your comment, the tagline below applies. <G>

    Yeah, it should be back into the 40s tomorrow, and near 60 on Monday. I am worried that the temps today (not getting to 30) might take a toll. We
    will see.

    Most of the heavy wet snow that fell yesterday (except for the shaded
    areas) has melted off today, with temperatures in the 40s...it'll be in
    the 60's Sunday.
