SLOW-arriving spring

Everything is about two weeks or more behind previous years' progress - lilacs blooming, peas growing, aspen leafing out, everything! Irrigation system is set up and working on shrub, flower, and vegetable gardens. We had a hard frost (about 26 degrees) last week one night, and I had accidentally left many little seedlings sit outside, so ended up losing several basil, tomatoes, and cabbage plants.]
We've had Dust Bowl-like blowing conditions in the San Luis Valley this spring - days where automobile accidents occurred on the stretch of highway between Monte Vista and Alamosa due to low visibility caused by airborne soil.
