i like that line about Imbolc, that's lovely. it is like that here, too, though we've had a couple days in the 60sF recently, so the sense of "days are warm/ it is spring" is maybe stronger - still the plants know to wait. and we got snow yesterday (half an inch; entirely melted now); the weather could do almost anything at any moment this time of year here too. but the sunset is getting close to 6pm, and that helps a lot.
