Two possibilities come to mind given that this occurred in winter:

1.  Salt damage; Were the trees located near an area which is close to
where salt would have been used to melt snow?  Given the hard winter last
year, perhaps more salt than normal was used?

2. Winter drying. When this happens in years with snow cover, the parts of
the tree below the snow line remain green.

Hopefully others will add to or correct the above.

Ron
