Sorry to hear. Yeah this weird winter is super unusually warm where I am too, though we've fallen back into seasonal normals in the last week. I've been keeping an eye out for ticks, but so far nothing.
I've only ever seen deer ticks here, never black legged, but they're definitely in the area.
We've also had a few warmer than usual weeks this winter, and deer ticks have been out for a month now, if not longer.
I'm at the point where I'm probably going to have them on something year round.
