...witch hazel regularly blooms in winter, which is presumably why it's at the Arboretum: to provide some color when nothing else is blooming.

spring is not here

"Even in cold, snowy winters, witch hazel can be counted on for blooms by mid-February or early March."

Rain is another sign that spring is on the way
