Meteorological Spring, or Astronomical Spring?

My daffodils have come up, but the crocuses in my neighbor's yard and y own backyard have yet to show life.
It's nice to see that these plants are coming up on the other side of the ocean. I can't go to the other side of the ocean because I'm waiting for my passport to be renewed. 
Even pansies are still unavailable, roughly three weeks away....

The daffodils are already above ground but not open, the tulips also have large leaves already and I saw the hyacinths are coming, too.

My daffodils are showing buds, so there's at least hope.
My neighbor's crocuses have foliage, but no buds yet. The buds on the red maples are getting fat.
Yes, I look at the plants as I walk around my neighborhood

The crocuses in the communal green behind my house flowered over a week ago. Then it snowed. Now they are a sad bunch of purple stains.

The other question: Coil spring or leaf spring? (I guess leaf, looking at your very nice picture)

I saw a third bunch of daffodils that are up. The Montauk Daisies are showing green buds, which is weird, as they won't bloom until next September.
