If so, they better get busy with the blossoming. I live on a street planted with Japanese cherries and haven’t noticed any blooms. I don’t think the buds are even visibly swelling yet.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Has anyone noticed that YVR officially recorded 0.3 cm of snow on March 4th?

I think it was the night where it went to a rain/snow mix for a few hours. Didn't think they'd put down any measurable snowfall but apparently there was. Another EC screw-up or is this actually legit?

or Similkameeeens too. Just no Cherries. Maybe Saskatoon/Service Berries instead..similar blossoms..more sparse..white flowers. You should know RMan :wave:
They make great pies..just saying :thumbup:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

It was snowing at my place on March 4th at 0300am, so it is plausible I guess.

I know all about saskatoons. They really like the drier forests one gets on the east side of the mountains (though they do grow on the wet side, too). They can at times really bear heavily. Have pigged out on them more than once.

I like the gradual melt rather than a big AR event that causes urban flooding. :thumbup:

The 12Z EPSgram had one member reaching close to 15C around the 18th or so of March. Come on, give me some warmth!
