梅が咲くまでの積算気温、
というものがあるらしい。

桜もそうらしいが、今日気温の5℃分、明日の気温の9℃分と
少しずつ蓄積していって、あるところに達すれば咲くそうだ。

寒い寒いといっていても、毎日少しずつ積み重ねて
僕らは春に近づいていく。

服部嵐雪
梅一輪　一輪ほどの　暖かさ

I have heard that there is a indicator called "Accumulated temperature".

Japanese plum tree, as well as cherry blossom, accumulates temperatures
of each day, like 5C of today, 9C of tomorrow, which eventually get to the
point that flowers open up.

It has been freezing, but some show signs of coming spring before we realize it.

I referred to the Haiku by Ransetsu Hattori (Haiku poet, 1654 - 1707) in Japanese,
but it seems too hard for me to translate into English Haiku... haha.
