Dar, even here it felt like spring today with ice melting and sun shining ... but I looked at the calendar and saw it was still January and knew it was a cruel trick.
My guess is yes, it is a sign of spring and yes, wishful thinking.
We have forsythia starting to bud to bloom and showing yellow. Me thinks that the 0˚F we had in December then the warm up tricked some plants into thinking it is spring.

Is this the evil you putting plastic flowers in trees?
It'll be winter for a couple more years...
I wish you luck. Our Cherry Trees were blooming a couple weeks ago. Then the 7F temps destroyed the illusion.

Here's hoping it's just wishful thinking ;)

Either way the blossoms are pretty.
Oh well....:-(.
The riot of cherry blossoms in Portland last March was amazing to see. But blossoms in mid January, really?
Keep us posted on how they fare.
Hmmm...maybe.
Yesterday here I went to lunch in the sunshine with the car windows down a bit. Nice balmy day.
Today I went to lunch in a blizzard with big fat snow flakes blowing sideways and icey streets.
Confusion? Yeah.
