Well, here in the Pacific Northwest many of the buds opened today.
We have been having warm weather and the trees think it is spring.
Groan! Anyone want to bet we will lose our fruit crop to a hard
frost?  Maybe the weather will stay warm it will be
a bumper year.  And maybe that issai kiwi will finally have all
those berries the catalog promised.  And maybe the last two
sentences are bad jokes.

<end quotes>

   A early bloom in the Pacific Northwest would be disaster from
tree fruit growers there, not only from the worry of frost, but because
of the reality that all the honey bees are in California for the almond
bloom where the foggy weather has kept most in with the exception of a
few hours one afternoon in the last week.
