By the end of the first week, it was almost entirely bare:

By the end of the second week, it was already growing new sprouts all over.

I also chuckled at the reports in the newspaper about the health issues caused by the temperature change... sore throats, lung infections, increases in hospital cases. Its been in the 80s every day I've been here. In Seattle, we get sick when it gets cold, apparently here they get sick when the weather warms up!
