I'm pretty sure I'm right about this: I saw a forsythia bush in the very very first stages of bloom.

The tips of the bushes were plump and light light green as contrasted against the brown branches. Just like in late March.

I'm in the top northern part of New Jersey.

1. It's been a mild winter, but the artic oscillation is going to go back...

....to nutral in the next 14 days, and winter should,come back to the east coast. It could be a rough February and March.

6. I expect it will be a very cold February here in Maine, which will be a shock to us after this very

mild winter thus far. (But the two foxes I recently saw had glorious thick fur coats, so I suspect winter will come down hard on us next month.)

2. This year during the time folks had their outdoor Christmas lights up ...

we saw lots of folks' roses bushes and flowering bushes in full bloom,
yeah I know I'm in Houston Texas - but that is even strange to see here at Christmas time.

Last winter we had hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, etc weather and it really confused my fruit trees and none of them produced this year,
I hope it doesn't happen again this year too - my outdoor thermometer (in the shade) is currently saying it is 74 degrees

3. I had a few yellow flowers on mine in the last week of Dec. here in MA.

Never seen that before.

4. I saw a cherry tree in blossom

here in the UK couple of weeks back.

5. we had cherry trees breaking bud here in VA in December

hope the apple orchards dont follow suit. Its a dying way of life in this area but many still rely on those apples for money

7. Daffodils in full bloom and forsythia in bloom here

about 90 miles north of Mobile Al.
a month to 6 weeks early.

This week the highs will be 70-ish.
3 days ago the lows were 18, but that was a short few days of nights only freezing.
