    Same thing today for me in the southern part. Yesterday it slowed while it was warm out so I thought the 2-day thaw had ended. Today (with just a light freeze over-night) it was running hard. Maybe the trees hadn't thawed fully after all? Or maybe that light freeze was enough? Confused but happy...
