early snowdrops

Was suprised to see the first Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) by a house wall this morning. While it hasn't been really cold, it hasn't been particularly warm either, and I haven't seen any anywhere else. This is a rather sheltered, southward facing spot though and I suspect the house (it's quite old) isn't very well insulated.
