We have had a remarkable shift in our weather, with very crisp nights in the 20's and high 30's during the day. We received 5" of wet snow on 3/23 which provided much needed moisture. Our naturalist friend, Jim Gilbert, said the snow had a moisture content of .43" of water. This was 3 times what we received for the rest of March!
The sap flows surged to 1 gallon of sap per tap both Monday and Tuesday. We will be quite busy today in the sugarhouse and the forecast looks favorable for the next several days.
