The last couple years that we were in Anchorage, there were new records set. The winter of 2011 and beginning of 2012, we set the record for Anchorage, with over 6 feet of snow. The winter of 2012 and 2013, we had the LONGEST and COLDEST winter on record! We still got snow mid May 2012. :-( It had warmed up a little, a couple weeks in April and beginning of May. The flowers were peaking through the leaves, so I uncovered them. Well...then came another COLD snap, and it froze the tips of the tulips, that are usually blooming around the 10th-15th of May. This year, it took them a while to re cooperated from frost bite. They finally bloomed the first part of June. :-) Everything was about 2 or 3 weeks late turning green.
