Dude seriously what is up with this? It's literally still winter but trees and flowers are blooming and it was 82 degrees today. I mean I'm not complaining, but in my 20 years of living in this city I can't remember ever seeing something like this.

It’s the 3rd straight year of a La Niña winter which brings warmer dryer weather to the southeast. I saw an article dated back in September that called it pretty perfectly.

Is there any indication of when we’ll get another El Niño winter? Warm winters / early springs are for the birds.

I’m with you, I like snow and cold in winter. Idk tho, not sure how early they can forecast El Niño vs La Niña pressure shifts

Fair enough, I don’t know shit about weather so I figured maybe someone else had more insight on it than me

Those trees bloom in the winter naturally anyway.

Plums blooming now also. They usually bloom mid March.
