Columbia South Carolina. Like a world away.. then again, maybe only couple weeks away. Lol. I seen a leaf out within 2 weeks here but of course thats in May. Lol
Back home might hit freezing but probably not much lower so I'm not too worried about any development stunting.
SE PA on the other hand might have some problems. Definitely been some budding going on but temps are about to plummet. Upper 20s tonight with 30s for a high tomorrow. Then upper teens Saturday morning with a high barely above freezing (this is below average for mid January). Then a low in the mid to upper teens Sunday morning. I think that certainly qualifies as a hard freeze.

Is thoses tree species so weak that they can't hold some more frosts? I mean,seems that North American deciduous trees is most susceptible to late season frost damages than the South American ones.
The varieties that do go bare here have been starting to green up the last few days. A few weeks early, they're about at the stage right now that they were on on about March 22-25 last year.

A light freeze won't do anything, but a hard freeze (lows of 24 F/-4 C or lower) will do damage, like early April of 2007 for example.
We still have some trees with last season's leaves on! I think they are pin oaks.
At least we have that in common. Such beautiful trees but so annoying how they hold their dead leaves till Spring. Makes a mess everywhere especially when winds are blowing. And dead brown leaves on fresh snowpack sucks too.
Almost all gone now thanks to the 40-50mph winds today.
