It is fairly common for there to be an eye of maybe blue dry between the rain and the snow. That can last for a day or an hour.
There was enough time and sun in this eye that the crocus did manage a weak opening.
Now it is snowing and cold again. The petals are engorged. There could be trouble ahead.
Bulbs are not the only things stirring. I've had a visitor the last few days in the intermissions between cold wet slop.
A truly pitiful looking skunk has stumbled through the garden and down the driveway during daylight twice this week. It looks like it got hit by a car.
It was looking a bit better yesterday before the snow. Still pitiful and no I have no plans to rescue the thing. Even the cats seem to know better.
The next eye of dry might last three whole days. I have mulch to spread in proper gardens. Here it is just the leaves and chop and drop.
The Buddha remains guard.

Aww poor little skunk. I hope it moves on instead of trying to move in. The dang varmints ate some of my crocuses. Grrrrrrrrrrr
I saw a whole row of crocus mowed down in one of the gardens I tend. I was most annoyed. Damn varmints!!
