"The weather in NY City this winter has been awfully strange. With temperatures hovering around the 50 degree mark and nearing 60. The most bizarre weather-related incident happened in Brooklyn where cherry blossoms decided to make an early appearance."
"Most cherry blossoms don't bloom until the beginning of spring when the winter chill finally begins to warm up. But there hasn't been a winter chill for most of the season, and for that reason, a cherry blossom tree was in practically full bloom on this the second day of January."
"The cherry blossom tree isn't the only confused species in the area. Turtles that are supposed to be hibernating right now are still going for a daily swim. Birds are plentiful, and the park still receives many visitors -- something they typically don't see during the winter."
This is just some more evidence of the toll global warming is having our environment. I live in the Northeast of the USA and we will be in the mid 50's through sunday in January?
