Popping leaves

It's amazing - the leaves seem to have popped out overnight. I noticed that the tree in my front yard that had leaves and tightly closed (barely visible) buds on it Friday morning was fully in bloom when I got home in the evening. And on my commute this morning, the heavily tree'ed Route 125 through Andover has changed once again to have a ceiling of green. On Friday, there were still a lot of seemingly bare branches. Obviously they couldn't have been bare, but must have had small rolled (early versions of) leaves on the branches. This morning? Fully formed leaves, and very green!

Is it too much for the weather wizard to help greet all of these leaves with a touch of warm weather?
