What kind of spring is it in the Pacific Northwest?

Conclusion: Our poor little Dogwood is really really trying to bloom.  It's been cold, rainy, and dreary.  The only difference between this year and last year is that February in 2010 was warm unlike this year.  The weathermen keep blaming in on the La Nina.  Pretty much everything in the Pacific Northwest is stuck in first gear.  If mother nature is reading this, would you *PLEASE* demote this La Nina person, cause we're sick of the way she's running the place!!!!
