Big Snow Coming!

[christopherh]

Finally! could use a little winter and colder temps! They're predicting up to a foot. 2012 might be letting us know winter has arrived!

I know what you mean... winter up here in far Northern MN has been anything but winter. No below zero temps, plowed the driveway for the first time all year yesterday, lots of 30 degree and even 40 degree temps. Looks like we may finally start getting some winter weather this week. Of course the warm winter has not been too bad - really saving on the heat bill - maybe saved enough for more syrup equipment?? :)

WooHoo!! Now they're talking 2 feet in some areas! I've got the polaris ready!

Here in NW WI the snow started last night and it's still coming down, although very lightly. Probably a good 6" and forcast for some blowing. -10* for tomorrow night. YAHOO!

They are calling for 10-20" of snow here in northern Michigan in the next couple of days. winter may finally be here!!

I will keep a snapshot of this thread after a dozen snowfalls....haha. Ilove the snow too and am glad to see it is on its way!

[christopherh]

Haha yea! when all of us on buckets are trudging through knee deep snow to collect!

Hey Christopher... we never did get all that snow they called for; most we've had up here is 2" so far this year.
I have no idea what to expect this year - but side bet is that we get hammered by early Feb.
Got all my wood cut and ready to go - bring it on...

Tim, do you tap in Eastlake? John, not much of a winter. I'm enjoying the break! Hope we have another great season!

4th year tapping, 4 taps the first year ,40 taps last year.Block arch and catering pans. Want to go 80-90 this year. I have 20 taps in Eastlake 20 more in Perry.All the neighbors want me to tap there trees now. Still in the process of planing to build an evaporator. A lot of choices on building one still undecided on a plan, converted oil tank or frame. Son in law coming over Sunday to draw up the plans. One or two days to put it all together.
