Finally a specific claim about early blooming flowers: The exceptionally mild winter and early spring has caused daffodils to bloom early this year, in some cases by as much as a month. And we see it is something unusual that has happened in one year. Not an earlier blooming that has gradually crept forward due to incremental warming. I grew up in a rural area with a lot of apple and peach orchards. People paid a lot of attention to winter and spring weather because it determined how the yearly crops would be. I can tell you having short warm winters, long cold winters, early springs, sometimes followed by cold snaps has always been common. Every years weather isn't uniform with every other year.
