Or so it seems, if one uses as a barometer the flowering cherry blossom tree in the Crab Apple Grove in Riverside Park, NYC. Passersby gazed in astonishment at the floating pink cloud of a singular tree among many with bare branches. A balmy 70 degree break in the weather pattern the last week in February must have prompted the flowering...an evident sign of global warming, I suspect.
