Man he is just not good. We already had historic colds highs and probably more to come. Define arctic. The freaking polar vortex is moving in for May standards.
It depends on the species of trees. Norway maples are leafing out nicely. Majority of my oaks have little tiny leaves too, one species does not. But all the hardwood maples and many other oaks when I drive around are not even close.
Well we have had some chilly springs from the plains on East for sure since 2000. Maybe Tip’s global warming pee-pocket in the Pacific means something.
