This winter had a more active season volcano-wise than is mentioned here, much more, sorry about that. Activity in Iceland, South America and Japan stand out. The Pahoa slow creep never overtook Pahoa, although there are still outbreaks north of the flow.
14 November 2014
Hawaii: The slow creep moves through Pahoa, burning one unoccupied house. This could be the slowest-motion ever of a town being overtaken by a natural event. Hopefully the damage will be more minimal than originally thought.

Karangetang, Siau Island
Japan
4 March 2015
Sakurajima volcano is kicking up - at least 7 outbursts within 24 hours. Light ash fall.
27 September 2014
Mount Ontake erupted unexpectedly, and at least 56 people were killed. The ash in some places was chest- or waist-deep. Rescuers had to race an approaching storm while helping people in the area to safety. Mount Ontake is the second highest volcano in Japan, at 10,062ft.
25 August 2014
Nishinoshima, a half square-mile, volcanically active island in Japan, has been building up lava on its eastern side. If that side collapses under the weight of the lava, waves could travel for 18 minutes to Chichijima and cause a 3ft tsunami.

Kilauea: Pu'u O'o cone: began in January 1983.
January 2013
The Pu'u O'o cone erupted.
3 October 2014
Kilauea erupts at the Pu'u O'o cone, and lava begins a slow creep to Pahoa.
26 December 2014
The lava creep has stalled less than a mile short of the Highway 130/Pahoa Village Road intersection.
18 March 2015
Pahoa is still alive and kickin', but the lava still has not crossed Highway 130. Malama Market, near the highway, will reopen after it closed its doors due to the lava threat three months ago.
