Yeah, I'd tried the "chopstick" method (actually, just with a toothpick,
which was probably a bit small) but since it's been getting colder it
was a bit hard to determine whether the pick was wet or simply cold.

That's what I thought. The needles are slightly "prickly" but aren't
too shiny; I've read that prickly and shiny needles on a juniper
indicate it's stressed -- is this correct?
