Well the exaggeration can be quite much at times.

There is not a tree at least in CT that has not broken buds and has tiny leaves. All the Oaks even have .

I’m pretty sure there is some mangled snow flakes mixed in with the rain here. Yuck

Any ash trees still alive there?  they're one of the latest to break bud.  Only black locust might be later.  Still stick season here, though some tiny sugar maple seedings have a bit of green, thanks to the sun warming the leaf litter.

Had a pretty flurry 10:10-25 this AM, briefly whitened the lawn during 2 minutes of heavier snow but just a trace.

That's the problem with such a large subforum-it's full on spring around here with everything out-flowering trees, regular trees and lawns already mowed....a week of 80+ has pushed us 1-2 weeks ahead of normal-hopefully not too much of a freeze tonight

-

in response to the other question-almost no ash trees left here-sad.

Most have died over the last 5-10 years

Some of my Sugar Maples are lagging (still just flowers), but yes, surprised that the Oaks already have tiny leaves.

Some are saying no but those that live in the woods know

It is 4/20

what's this accumulated supercell energy products or whatever they're called that are going around?

We’re getting a passing shower and yet I could’ve sworn I’ve seen some frozen precip in the mix. Maybe even mangled snowflakes.

And that is in spite of it being partly cloudy and 47.

I’ve seen this before even in Maryland, usually in the spring when there’s a cold airmass in place and it’s probably a lot colder aloft.

Morch and the torch definitely sped things up this year.
