Very impressive. I'd love those temperatures right now.

some trees due to the warm first half of February had started budding back in mid February. today I was outside I saw lots of new flowers coming up but they where the type we see around January but still flowers! normally the first trees start blooming around the first week of march and I expect the first trees to bloom this weekend. also many pine trees started dropping tons of pinecones during the first half of February. so hard to believe that by the beginning of April almost all the trees will be fully leafed and the big pollen explosion we have each year will start.
