I went to The Grounds for Sculpture near Trenton, NJ on March 30, 2013. There were only a few flowers blooming. Several people glanced at this and dismissed it as Forsythia, but it turns out to be Winter Jasmine, Jasminum nudiflorum .
The tubular, yellow flowers come out before the leaves, leading to another common name: Naked Jasmine. (I searched images by this name without thinking, and did not get a single botanical picture). It is native to China and is not naturalized here in NJ, though it is quite hardy.
