Name
[edit]A “blackberry winter” is a colloquialism in the Midwest and midsouth regions in the United States. It refers to an often-sudden cold snap that occurs in spring. “Centuries of observing nature’s phenomenon – noting when certain plants leafed out and bloomed, when migratory birds appeared, when temperatures cooled or warmed – taught important lessons about the otherwise unpredictable weather of spring."[1]
