An Early Spring?

Has Spring come so early to North Carolina?
February here in Raleigh:

Top: emerging leaves of Clematis 'Guernsey Cream', Dutch crocus
Middle: Treefrog, Crocus 'Ard Schenk', Johnny Jump-up


Still I think Winter has not yet conceded defeat...

this weekend's touch of frost

In the spring I have counted 
one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather
 inside of four and twenty hours.  
-Mark Twain


Is spring emerging so early elsewhere?
