We're in a deep freeze...

Greetings from the deep freeze, Oradell, N.J.! Our tulips are
having a very hard time growing. Our snow only melted yesterday. We've
had almost 62 inches of snow this season. Our average snowfall is usually
ONLY 28 inches. We're actually about two inches from a new record. That's
the reason we're in school right now, because of all those snow days.
So far our tulips look like they're still dormant. We cannot even
see where they were planted. We've been reading about your tulip updates,
and it seems incredible how different it is here! Luckily today it's in
the 50's. That may not seem like much to you in Texas and Califonia, but
here it's the warmest day since October. We've been keeping track of the
average daily temperatures, and icotherms, and photoperiods and think it
will take a few more weeks untill any signs of growth begin.
