After that spate of moisture we've been at 5% humidity for the last three weeks with a steady wind/breeze.

I can only remember one similar incident decades ago when during a very cold winter we had a false summer and everything bloomed with leaves coming out. The cold returned killing all of the new growth. When spring came for real there was quite a bit of second growth. That was a bad fire season during the summer.
