WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
My prediction that this winter would be cold and snowy has been drastically wrong. Although this January and February were more like March, perhaps March & April will be more like a typical January. Who knows. This photo was from maple sugaring season in March 2010. My hair and the snow were out of control. Arkville and the rest of the East Branch River Valley received about 3 feet of snow. Upper elevations received 3 to 5. Typical snowplows became less useful compared to front-end loaders. We’ll see how it goes.
May the Forest Be with You,
