I'm south of you, so spring comes earlier here. What's currently in bloom are

Snowdrops

Winter aconite

Christmas rose (Helleborus niger)

And rather surprising to me,

Crocus

MGallica - Wow - you have a lot showing for zone 5! I'm z6 and we don't have anything more than snowdrops right now. Some of the daffodil foliage is about 5 inches out of the ground and I'm just starting to see some new Hellebore leaves and open flower buds, close to the ground. I need to clean out some of my beds to get ready for some blooming.

Deanna, looks like you'll have crocus bloom soon!

We see a little bit of sun this afternoon, but yesterday was gray and rainy all day and 2/3 of today was wet and gray. Looks like all of next week is going to be gray every day, but warm enough to work outside.

Spring doesn't go by zones - it goes by latitude, with some adjustments for altitude. I'm a bit south of you. If you extend the Mass-Conn state line to the Hudson, that's very close to me.

Spent this afternoon picking sticks out of the lawn. Given the wind this past winter, it is going to be a big job.

MGallica, I didn't realize spring was by latitude, but it makes sense when you think about it. Thanks.

Yes, we have a lot of sticks and branches everywhere. Definitely going to be a big job.
