oOoooo, too early!!!

TOKYO — Cherry trees have started to blossom in Tokyo's Ueno Park, nearly a month earlier than usual, park officials said Monday. The officials said five trees had already blossomed and that four more trees were expected to blossom by next weekend. Japan has been experiencing an unusually warm winter, with temperatures in Tokyo 2 to 4 degrees higher than normal for this time of year.

The good news: it is lovely and warm and all is fantastic in the worlddddd! The bad news: we are going skiing 2/18 and the snow conditions are poor...blahhhh. That and some people are already suffering from hay fever! I hope it snows PLENTY this and next weekend!!!
