This weekend was a puff fest with large, low cumulus and high, thin cirrus clouds showing off against a very blue sky. With temperatures in the 70's and 80's, it feels like spring in Central Virginia. Trees are making new leaves in bright greens and rose reds. The azaleas, forsythia and spirea are full of blossoms. Even the Japanese Yoshino cherry trees in DC are blooming early this year.
