35 degrees with a frost advisory isn't my favorite way of starting Spring.

Texas is notorious for that last frost around Easter.

This is absolutely true, I always tell my wife there will be one last front around the end of March, usually it comes with a nice little frost to kill new plants. This winter was so mild that we only dipped down to 40* this year. I know this is the last one though, because the Mesquite trees are full leafed in South Texas and all the red oaks are in full leaf around Houston. Never did get cold enough for the pansies and stuff this winter, we should have just left our Vincas in the ground. The few we had in pots are still blooming from last summer.
