You can go to www.Pollen.com and type in your zipcode and it will tell you what plants are putting out pollen right now. But from where you are located I would guess it's similar to here. My cedar trees are putting off pollen. I'm sure there are others.

In mid February, some places begin to see the very early signs of Maple bloom (Acer saccharinum) adn the color of this pollen is pale yellow. Maple trees that are sheltered on south facing slopes or in lowlands will begin spurts of early bloom if conditions are right. These early spurts of bloom are very difficult for a beekeeper to spot, but the bees seem to have no difficulty finding them. Or, could be Hazel (Hamamelis vernalis) which will bloom in February.
