One of the issues with leaf out monitoring is there is not a universal definition of what constitutes full leaf out. I’ve seen people claim that when the first leaf structures are visible bursting out of the buds. Another is the leaf is out of the BUF but it’s clearly not full sized yet. And other times I’ve seen it as defined when the leaf is out and at or close to mature size. 

This is true in the literature too. You can find different definitions. 

If "full" prefaces the phrase, only your last definition seems logical, and it's what I use (though that doesn't make it right.)  Leaf out/full leaf out are pretty nebulous terms anyway, especially since different plant species have way different leaf out timing - you'll see green leaves on snowdrops nearly 2 months before any show up on black locust. 

Today makes 12 straight with AN temps though I think tomorrow breaks the string.  Nothing close to 2010 when Feb-Mar had a 46-day run. In both 2010 and 2012, continuous snow cover ended about 3/18 and this year will easily pass the equinox, though without reinforcements I don't think the pack will survive into April.

Worst winter of our lives in SNE. And it’s not debatable 

Same Down here. First winter in my lifetime that I didn’t plow snow. 
 

The covid-19 coverage has gotten my mind off how bad it has been.

You should share that model with the National Weather Service because they're not seeing it.
