Today I finally got the chance to revisit my trail. Unfortunately, the trail was covered in ice and very hard to walk on, but I reached my spot. My tree is slightly over a mile deep in Centennial Woods and elevated on a hill.
The tree looked to be peeling more than it was before. There are slightly more buds, but not many new ones. The snow that was very high around the tree is now down to just the base of it. Hopefully, by my next visit, there will be more obvious buds and flowering to observe. I think because this area gets less sun, is shaded from other trees, and has a decent amount of snow it is taking longer to bud.
