a cold spring

Temperatures in the 30's with snow and sleet. We had a very mild winter, but the spring has been colder than normal. A couple of weeks ago we had readings below zero. The cold literally nipped the forsythia blossoms in the bud. Our two bushes didn't bloom at all. As far as I can remember, that has never happened before. It looks like the extreme cold affected the daffodils as well. We have some daffodils, but not nearly as many as usual.
