I had one on me the other day and I'm not too far south of Canada. It's pretty early to start seeing them IMO.

    I'm from Germany. We had to remove the first ticks from the children as early as beginning of March after spending some time in the woods. I think this summer will be crazy…

    Slow start here in the Great White North. Still lots of snow on the ground due to a heavy snow winter.

    Read first few words and was hoping for a new The Tick TV show. Slightly disappointed

    We’ve already had four different versions of The Tick: the original comic, the animated cartoon, the first live-action TV series, and the recent reboot. All of them were genuinely good.

    That said, none of them ever became big mainstream hits. So those of us who truly love The Tick will probably always remain a dedicated minority. :/

    I haven't seen any this year yet, but we had a very mild winter here, so I'm assuming there will be plenty this season.
