John, It is possible the winter cold killed them. Wait a few weeks and see if the woolly masses expand as eggs are laid.

Several trees on the SW shore of the beaver pond next to Arms cemetery, on Audubon Sanctuary land, are lightly infested. I check this area regularly, and haven't seen any sign before now, although I would guess it appeared before winter. The prior sighting was about 1/2 mile away on the banks of the Deerfield River at the confluence of the North River. This location is about 10 miles East of Mohawk Trail State Forest.
