Phenology

Clear skies, highs in the low fifties and lows in the high twenties.  The sugarbush is in full swing for maple syrup.  Local folks have been well situated in their sugar maple stands for a few weeks now as taps have been flowing like gangbusters.  Recent cold nights and warms days have led to large volumes of sap flowing into buckets across the county.  The sap is then boiled down to produce rich maple syrup.  Osier Creek "crested" with it's peak flow yesterday (4/11).  Water volumes dropped by half over night.
