In Albion, the snowdrops often bloom by February 8.  This year I had to dig down quite a way to find them, but they are here!

Here are last year's asters.  You can see the path back to the snowdrop place, with last year's hellebore uncovered way back there...

Down under the hellebore, I scooped down to the leaf litter, and here is the view  under the snow.

Here they are.
