We had some lake effect snow last night and this morning... maybe half
an inch accumulation or so... but by the time we got out of church, most
of the snow on the parking lot had vanished, since the sun came out
about 9am or so... :)   High temps were probably around freezing...

 DS> We do not have any sign of spring flowers here yet though.

Don't you have any early bulbs planted...?  Snowdrops hardly count as
spring flowers... they are a late winter bloom, often pushing up through
the snow (it's a bulb, like crocuses)... but it's a nice harbinger of
spring... :)  I don't expect to see any flowers on the other bulbs until
maybe later next month, unless we really get lucky... I often worry a
bit about the tips of the tulip or daffodil leaves when they poke up this
early, but usually there's not much if any damage done if we get more
winter weather... I do remember the year we had a Mother's Day snowstorm,
though... wet slushy snow that made my tulips and daffodils etc very
unhappy... of course, they were in full bloom by then... :)

... Are cranberries healthy?  I've never heard one complain.
