Forsythia fail

The big forsythia in the front yard kinda failed this spring.


My only assumption is that the buds couldn't handle the extremely cold temperatures we had rather late in the season, during one of our horrible snow storms. After all, this is Arkansas. Why did it bloom on the first foot of the plant? Maybe the 14 or 15 inches of snow insulated the plant. Don't even ask about the pruning that should have happened....
