Quite so!
I visited Spruce Knob/Seneca Rocks and Canaan Valley State Park in West Virginia today; Canaan Valley is still snow covered, and the road to the top of Spruce Knob is basically impassable due to snow. (Okay, maybe I'm a wuss, but six to ten inches of heavy wet snow and a winding switchback road about 12 feet wide with 500' drop-offs and no guard rails was too much for me.)
I spoke with a local resident who's also a gardener, and he noted that the hard freeze last week killed off a lot of the redbud blossoms. Certainly I saw only a handful, all right next to rivers.
