It looks like I will be turning the voting off. I'll give a few more days to see if there is any more input.

Calvin,
It has been warm here, and I was just thinking a few days ago that the sap must be starting to flow. Now that it has cooled back off, (the snow flew last night, supposed to be down in the teens at night now) maybe the maple syrup season will last a little longer than it has in past years. I was in Indiana on Thursday,  and someone I talked to there was mentioning about seeing buds on the trees greening up. I didn't see it myself, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised either.
