Michigan's recent weather, with warm sunny days and cold, below-freezing nights, is perfect for maple sugaring. The temperature changes make the sap flow and a strategically driven spile can divert some into a bucket. Heating the sap concentrates the sweetness, as water transforms into clouds of steam.
