I mean all flowering shrubs have been in full bloom for about 7- 10 days . The green underbrush in the woods has all leafed out and even Red maples have little tiny green leaves . Really it’s only the Oaks that haven’t quite popped yet.
Several things not mentioned there.
1.) Days of cold ,raw, wet onshore flow
2.) Cold, record breaking outbreak with widespread freezes
3.) Below normal pattern
