Phenology

Seasonably mild. Highs in the upper 20s, lows in the upper teens. Lake effect snow for 2nd consecutive day with about 9 inches of fresh snow on the ground and still falling. Spotted moose tracks! The shear size of the prints couple with the fact that you could see the result of it barreling through the snow banks leave no doubt of what caused it. This is very surprising to me as the property is not in typical moose habitat. Moose are the largest member of the deer family. An average male weighs anywhere from 800-1500 pounds and can be up to 7 feet tall to its shoulders (disregarding the height of it's antlers).
