Pre-snow flowers around the neighborhood

Yesterday, I knew snow was coming. It was Friday afternoon, and the sun shone bright and warm on the flowers that have already started blooming. After work I grabbed my camera, and I went for a walk; I didn’t even need a jacket. As I type this, the world outside is cold and grey, and snow swirls down the street in gusts of wind.

I think this is a  Taiwan flowering cherry tree (Prunus campanulata) but I’m not sure; aside from the star magnolia and witch hazel, it’s the only tree with anything on its branches — no other trees have leaves or flowers, and certainly none are pink.
Star magnolia. I love the fuzzy buds.
The Taiwan cherry again; this is in a neighbor’s yard.
