Is this a good thing? Is there a chance that a frost will kill them and then they won’t grow again later?

No, they're totally fine with being buried in snow 😆 .. even the blossoms. If it snowed today, whenever it melted these same blossoms would look pretty much the way they do now. Same with crocuses and daffofils.

This winter is still pretty eerie. We’ve barely had a dusting of snow, it’s barely dropped below freezing at night and we have another 50 degree day today with more rain on the way this week. It’s creepy.

Eerie is a good word for it. There are masses of perennial daisies at India Point Park. All of their foliage has a couple inches of new growth on the tips.

Witchhazel is in bloom, a month early. Crocus shoots have been up an inch or more for a couple weeks.

From mid-November until mid-December the cherry trees at the entrance to Swan Point were in bloom. That's supposed to happen in mid-April 😳

I've never seen this.
