We usually see our first confirmed cases in December, with peak activity in January [and into] early February.

So probably end of January, early February.

Our sales dropped $3,400 in November, $7,600 in December, $10,000 in January, $27,000 in February and $27,000 in March. None of my other locations have seen a drop in business - they are each averaging 2 percent growth.

Usually January and February are slow months, but not this year.

It's started out west, but flu season hits here usually in late January or February.

I think if we still get rain late in January or early in February, a decent amount, we may be able to make up what was lost. If it is too far into February, it is too close to the onset of nesting.
