What part of the state is that?

I find it hard to believe it's the same for the whole state. The grass greens, the trees leaf out, the birds come back from the south, the hummingbirds show up sooner... all in the south about 4 hours south of me. And by sooner, I mean 2 weeks. Same for the weather. It melts about 2 weeks sooner down south as well. (hence the thaw and spring coming sooner.(obviously))
