Last week started off cold; it is January after all. Then a thaw that has been absent for two Winters blessed the area. Was it time to tap trees and fetch the golf clubs? No. No, it was not. There's plenty of frosty goodness left, but it was a warning to those that have yet to join ski to slope. There's still downhill skiing in March and even April, but it can be sloppy, rainy, and can interfere with tree tapping or worse, golf. The clock is ticking on icy gravity sports and we are getting closer to thinking about picking an ice-out date. I'll get the ice-out contest up in the next few weeks if we continue to see these happier, more normal temperatures.
