That's amazing growth in that time span - but not surprising. I think we forget in the southern United States with the heat, sun angle, and ample precip the speed at which things grow. 

I was checking low temps in the New Orleans/Houma area...and only 4 days this Feb had lows below 60 F . We take that for granted. In some cities however, the highs struggle to reach 60 F in winter (the other day NYC hit 60 F for the first time this year)....and cities like London or Paris on average will not see  their first 60 F high until April - lol.

Heat, rainfall, and sun....it can do amazing things.

60f isn't uncommon during Jan or February here. We had over 60f a week ago and it's forecasted to be 60f again next week. However to get consistently above 60f we have to wait till April.

While the effects may be muted  -compared to if it were unfolding about a month ago-,    ...would read this weeks' blog post from Judah Cohen carefully....

In a nutshell, full blown SSW / possible Final Warming    on the way...
