A wet start to the week with just over an inch Monday morning. Dry and warmer weather moving in Tuesday.
Warm temps and wind over the weekend clearing the ice off Little Sugarbush and area lakes. May 6th the official ice out date. Around 1/4″ of rain on Saturday. The woods are slowly starting to come to life with foliage but busy with the sounds of waterfowl, frogs and nature!
We have been clearing deadfall off the trails when the ground has been frozen but waiting for trails to dry up to resume. We also will be planting trees this week.
