Wednesday, 9:00 AM. 4 degrees, up from –3 at 8:00 AM. Wind S, calm. The sky is blue but hazy, the result of more moisture in the atmosphere. The barometer predicts snow but it is still too cold to produce much.The red maple tree (Acer rubrum) flower buds are swelling noticeably, further evidence of the returning sun and ongoing biological activity in the trees in spite of the winter cold, but it will be several more months before they bloom.
