I've noticed a lot of small trees and shrubs beginning to leaf out in SE Michigan. Haven't noticed any big ones yet. We had 75F a few days ago but we also had below freezing temperatures a couple days before that, so plants are still being cautious.
Forsythia are in full bloom here now, with Star Magnolias just starting to bloom. Things should really start leafing out more now that the temperatures are back to normal after a cool March.

Nope. No way. Not buying that. Impossible Im so far behind you guys here. Sounds like 3 weeks behind. Wow
I still think an early leaf out is on the table, that's how far along we were before the mid-month cold snap. Buds on Pear and deciduous Magnolia trees look about ready to open up, a few trees appear to have started already.
I saw a daffodil just starting to open in Ann Arbor. Usually that doesn't happen until April. In Victoria, B.C., where I grew up, daffodils used to bloom in late February.

That I believe. They usually sprout with any good warmth. But Magnolias here don't bloom till end of April at least so I find it hard to believe Ontario is that far ahead up there.
Proof of what people are claiming would be some webcams. I don't even trust pictures anymore since people on this forum use any source to post them lately. lol

Considering the center of the axis of the trough has been centered over the NE instead of Midwest, not really surprising that you would be a couple of weeks behind "Ontario" (which is really Windsor - right across the border from Detroit). The climate there is not really any colder than in CT.
It's like people hear a Canadian province and automatically assume it's gonna be snow covered until June or some ****.
Magnolias and cherries have just finished flowering and lilacs are beginning to flower. Most of the trees already have some leaves on them, but I don't know how long everything will stay green since we haven't gotten any rain in almost a month and aren't forecasted any for the foreseeable future.
