I've been out looking in places where I'm told they grow, but no sightings yet. Have people seen them?
I've gone to several places as well, but no sightings. I conceded defeat & did my foraging at Sickles...
I've looked in Roosevelt Park in Edison and Scooley's Mountain in Long Valley and saw nothing. I suspect that if they're coming up, they're either being poached, or taken by food enthusiasts.
I've been wondering the same about morels, checked the Morel Sightings Map and there are as yet no sightings in NJ.

$14.99/lb @ Wegman's in Bridgewater. Very nice looking. It'll take a little time to check out: the 4-digit code for ramps isn't in the store's computer and the check-out person will need a manager to manually enter it. In the meanwhile, you can provide a bit of a culinary education to other customers and check-out people, who were all wondering what the *@+!? those things are, why they're worth $14.99/lb. (are they?, you be the judge) and what you can do with them.
I have not seen them yet in my woods. Maybe this rain will do the trick.
File under #GMA@B: one excellent Bucks County farm market has ramps for $24.99/lb. and one vendor at the otherwise fabulous Stockton (NJ) Farmers Market wants $30/lb. As I recall, crack cocaine was cheaper. Let's see if Wegman's still has them for $14.95/lb.
