Jumping the Gun?

Our neighbors have been out trimming trees and cleaning out flower beds. I decided to join them.
I pulled some weeds that have been annoying me lately, and pulled out the dead remnants of tomato, pepper, and squash plants in the raised beds, making sure to set aside the stakes so I can re-use them. It will be time to plant soon! Won't it?

Then it dawned on me. Daffodils are springing up all over, but I've yet to see a crocus. The juncos haven't left yet. A few trees are budding out and people are starting to prune their roses and Crepe Myrtles back, but waaaay too early! So, I asked my neighbors if they thought we might just be making a late February snow storm head this way. They gave me a nervous little giggle and said they hoped not.
Hmmm. For many years, a columnist for the Demo-zette, the late Richard Allin, published an annual column heralding the arrival of “The Frozen Daffodil and Snow Tire Festival.” I hope he's not just finishing up a column in Heaven for 2016!
I think.
One more pretty snow would be nice. And the streets are too warm for it to stick on them much, so why not?
My father would tell me I've lost my mind. But, I didn't move all the way to Little Rock from New Orleans to have to shave my legs so I could wear shorts in February!
Seriously. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
