early spring
First crocuses appear
Early spring is the first weeks of the season, when winter loosens its grip but warmth hasn't fully arrived—snow melts, crocuses emerge, days lengthen.
The phrase often carries anticipation: The early spring flowers were already blooming.
It can also describe unseasonably mild weather in late winter: We're having an early spring this year.
