Stick Season
Did you know that Vermont actually has six seasons? You've got the typical four; Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. But Vermont also has mud season and stick season.
Mud Season occurs between Winter and Spring, when the winter snow all melts and the unpaved roads, dirt paths, and hiking trails become a muddy mess from melting snow and spring rains.
Stick season is the period between fall & winter when the leaves have left the trees but the snow has yet to come. The sky and clouds take on a gray, foreboding color. The sun tries to shine through but only manages a weak, white light. It's a warning that snow is on the way. There is something magical about the land during this time of transition.
