It was definitely spring in Harriman State Park the last few days, high 50s during the day time and low 30s (maybe high 20s) during the overnight.
Some trails had no snow or ice while others were down right treacherous, and of course we didn't have any traction devices with us. Needless to say the hiking was very slow in spots. -

No signs of Break Up (Alaska Spring) yet. I suspect it will be around Easter this year but since I'm not a native to this area and only have three years of personal data to pull from, I could be very wrong.“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” - T. S. Eliot

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

a few years ago we had an abnormally warm March. All the fruit trees budded, and the buds were then killed by the normal April freezes. There was no fruit crop that year Which was a major blow to farmers (MI is one of the top fruit producers). Fortunately we have dropped back down to normal temps (with some snow on the weekend ) so hopefully our hot Feb won't put too many farmers out of business. But if we have another warm spell, it could be a problem.

I've seen fruit crops lost due to early warming trends coupled with a late freeze. The first time it happened was economically painful as I had planned to pick fruit for a new bike. Never did get that particular bike.
