Not in New York. They swear we're going to jump from the 40s to 76 tomorrow and 80 on Saturday , but then back to 50 on Sunday! We've been home for two weeks now and have only reached the low 60s twice , with half a dozen days in the 40s and 5.5 inches of snow!
It mostly has here in Portland, we still have a few Daffodils, the Grape Hyacinth are in full glory, the roses are flushed with red new growth, the Columbine have flower stocks, the trees are leafing out, the Hosta are showing, the ferns have new fronds unfurling, etc. However, this morning, when we are having our gutters replaced with Leaf Guard ones, it's 39 and raining.

Enough already.
It is still in the 20s here at night. Just shocking.
