How warm has it been in Munich?

[Old Crank]

We had snow for a couple of days before Christmas, but it warmed up and that was all gone for Christmas weekend. Today while I was out walking dog with friends I saw two flowering trees. These are past their prime so they bloomed a couple or so days ago.
Munich. Before mid-January....
Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes.

3. Wow! Nice pics

It was warm in Pittsburgh also, I think it got up to the 60s for a couple of days around Christmas. However it wasn't enough to start anything blooming.

I noticed that swarms of bugs were hatching early, but they only last a day or two anyway. When flowers and trees bloom too soon in a false spring, it's another story. They might not have enough energy left to bloom again in the real spring. Or they could die if the temperatures go back to intensely cold.

5. Yet there are still plenty of idiots claiming....

Global warming is a hoax.

There's tons of evidence, scientific evidence, that it is not a hoax.
