Just now returning from most of a week of wandering the back country of NM/AZ/UT from 10k ft to 3k, my lilacs and cottonwoods were budding, my apricot had started blooming and was frozen off, my apples just did the same last night (froze back) I think.   The grasses are peeking up through the dry leaves and  dead weed-stalks.  

I am amazed at how subtle the "quickening" of Spring can come on...  a threshold of temperature (nighttime or daytime?) or minutes of sunlight?   

At your (glen) higher latitude but sea-level perspective, nature must be on a slightly advanced/retarted schedule?   Similar but different for you having moved from Portland this season?
