Early Cicadas

Last Friday I posted a report of an unusually early cicada song heard the day before in Central Park. Today Jan Lipert, of Bayonne N.J. writes:

Hi Marie --
Cicadas are at least 2 weeks early here, also. I have never heard them here in June, nor in Red Bank NJ, where I grew up.

Anyone else hearing cicadas earlier than usual this year?
