The cherry blossoms were roaring towards a record early bloom, and along came an icestorm, effectively, coating everything in a layer of ice. The day we were going to go admire the blooms, it was 32F maximum and windy (and bitterly cold). About 50% of what was out was destoryed. So the cherry blossoms in DC were smaller this year, to say the least. You have to feel for the people who made the trip of a lifetime to see them. However, a bit further east, our cherry blossoms were lagging, and have just started coming out, and they are not affected by frost, and are beautiful to see! The disadvantage is there isn't a mass bloom to admire like there usually is in Washington. Maybe next year!
