I live 30mi south of GreenBay and this morning on my way to the Milwaukee airport it was a white out for about 40mi. then nothing. This was all lake affect snow so i'm not to worried. Flew into St Louis and its just rain here but sounds like ice later tonight. I fly home on Wed or I'm supposed to fly on Wed. I need to hang more tubing but with 3ft of snow on the ground its a major pain in the legs. :)

I already have to get around by snow shoe!!! there is I guess 2+ feet snow pack in the woods right now I don't know for sure I don't go with out snow shoes. I will have to bend over to tap some of the trees this year!!!

I've been in the woods this past weekend and we had about 20" of snow here at my house at my other bush right around 2.5ft of snow in the woods but, its in the mountains. NOT GOOD cpmaple

Let it come.Not much for frost at my location so the 16" of powdered snow will not last long when season comes.I do not want to plow but wish my woods had another 2'.So maybe my wish will come true.Good luck to all.

When do you guys up in NY start tapping?

[collinsmapleman2012]

i tap usually the 2nd or 3rd week in february, and as late as march depending on how i think it will run

[Thompson's Tree Farm]

Generally I tap after March 1st. Base the timing after that on the extended forecasts. I'm getting to a size now that I have to begin much sooner to get it all done so I may begin the last week of Feb. This year.

[treefinder]

i start when the 10 day forcast looks like the saps going to run all week. . i've tapped as early as feb 11th and as late as march 22nd.

[cpmaple]

I start tapping right around the second to third week of feb. Located about 7 miles from the shore of lake champlain in crown point ny. cpmaple

[Southtowns27]

Last year I tapped the last week of January...but sometimes not until early March.
