There are. Even close to the Lakes which are still cold, there are leaves in April and May. Leaves on trees start coming out in March. In higher elevation areas, Spring comes later.

Meanwhile, here, trees are leafing out by late March / early April (this year, they're leafing out now).

How far "up north" are you talking about?
Even with a long, rough winter, leaves start coming out in March. In Pittsburgh right now on Feb 23, there are buds on a few trees in my backyard. Get close to the Lakes and it's about 2.5 weeks behind.
I think you are full of poop.
