Big snow coming??? ...well maybe, maybe not???!!!

[red maples]

this afternoon the snow amounts were 2 - 14 inches by me.... really 2-14inches would be nice to narrow that one down. Just checked it again now they are saying 12+ and potential for 24+ from boston north. Maybe narrow that a little would be nice. I guess they just don't know anymore???!!!!??? now we Must rape the stores of bread and milk because thats what we're suppose to do right??? :lol:

[ClarkFarmMapleSyrup]

I wont need snoeshoes tapping this weekend or next, but i think you guys up north are going to get hammered unlike NE Pa. Time will tell...

[spencer11]

i could care less about snow now, especially with the season so close, i got my fufill of snowmobiling, but 2 ft would be nice for that! tapping in it...not so much. but i dont believe what they have to say until im plowing it

[Shawn]

They say six to twelve here, but like you say who knows, Think I will sit in the sugar house and count buckets and have a refreshment!:lol:

[DonMcJr]

I expect totals in this area to range from 10-14". No warning for our area at this current time, I suspect the National Weather Service is waiting on another batch of model data before pulling the trigger. 6-10" totals still look pretty good for our immediate area, but this is subject to change

That's what the Weather is saying around here....:o

[TerryEspo]

Woke up this a.m. to 5"-6" of fresh new snow,,,ggrrr.
This is the most snowy winter I remember for a long time.
Weeks and weeks till I tap.
At least I can have my holding tanks super cold surrounded by snow. I have to shovel the snow off the top of them to get at them.

Good luck to all.

Looks like its gonna be a pretty big one here, I don't see any stations or websites predicting less than a foot at this point for us, some go all the way to 2ft.

It would be nice to have something on the ground come tapping time. I also just wouldn't mind a decent storm, we havnt had any big ones so far. Would prefer if we didn't lose power, but it may end up happening if we get the wet heavy snow they are talking about with high winds.

[adk1]

yeah, you might get really hammered in New England

[valleyman]

Ahh yep down here in Connecticut we're forecasted to get 15-25+ inches statewide plus some serious winds 25-30 with 60mph gusts.

I'm tapping trees on Sunday... at least that's the plan.

[red maples]

I am right on the seacoat NH too...so right now its 16inches to 3feet!!! geez! just realized I put this in the family one instead of the sugar inn oops sorry.

[Flat Lander Sugaring]

18" to 24" I hear around me, but like others, just wait and see

[lakeview maple]

I guess we are lucky Flat,They have us at 8 to 14.You all know how that goes Ill wake up to 3 ft and climbing,lol.Wouldnt be sugaring without at least one trip on snowshoes up the mtn.

[red maples]

blizzard warnings here on the seacoast with end total at18-28" some areas could see 30+ and 40-60mph gusts. Sounds like a fun one!!! they called off school yesterday.

[allgreenmaple]

18" to 24" I hear around me, but like others, just wait and seeWe at 8-12''.

started snowing here this morning, not hard yet but snowing...and i dont have school :lol:

[boondocker]

we are looking at 18"-24" here. everthing is still froze rock solid but the temps are looking good for next week.

[Run Forest Run!]

We got anywhere from 6-10 inches, but it's hard to say for sure because whatever is falling is blowing around and drifting.

We won't be leaving the house using the back door anytime soon!

(Hopefully the picture that I added to this reply shows up. It was my first time trying so forgive me if I failed miserably.)

[red maples]

up to 21 inches here at 5 am,(there's alot of wind so its a little rough of a total. finished first round driveway clearing at 1 am back out for round 2 in a few mins after egg sandwich and coffee.

[Bill'sSugarShack]

Looking out it's hard to judge what we have at this point...with drifting n all.
Plan to lay low till it's most done n do just one clean up..hell can't go any where till roads plowed anyways..

[Flat Lander Sugaring]

We at 8-12''.

we didnt get poop for what they were saying

[Sunday Rock Maple]

I just cleared the driveway and I'm guessing around 10". Heading to the shanty after breakfast and it'll be easier to tell there in the woods with less drifting. We have 800 tapped now, would like to hit it hard this weekend as they are saying 41 here for Monday --- possibly our first run.....

[spud]

I got about one inch of snow last night. I was planning on working in the woods today but it is only 5 degrees with wind right now. Supposed to have some rain on Monday.

Spud

[68bird]

28" here in Harrisville!!! Well Peterbourough anyway!

[spencer11]

we got 20" here, need an actual plow truck for anything over 8", got 12-14" since i plowed last night

[red maples]

we are up to about 25-26" its a little after 9:30. snow really slacked off alot. it was 2-3 inches an hour for a while. but its still coming down. they say another 2-5 inches by sometime this afternoon. that would put us about 28-30" they actually got this one right for our area for a change. LOTS of moisture for the trees right at the beginning of the season!!!!

[DonMcJr]

Here in Michigan I only got about 10 Inches... Gonna run my 15 taps on gravity in a few hours cause it's suppose to warm up all next week here!

Be safe everyone who got dumped on!

[Tithis]

Roughly 2ft here, only thing I could see of my car this morning was the side mirrors. I got the area behind my car cleared, but I think that will be it for now as I doubt I'll be going to work and there really isnt any place to put the car to let the plows through.

[B.D.L]

not sure about the snow total but it looks like ill need my snowshoes to tap tomorrow,
NOT IMPRESSED.

[wildlifewarrior]

Bout 28 here in Enfield, CT. Still not allowed to even get on the roads.

Mike

[jrmaple]

In north eastern CT we got hammered with over 30" and in some spots the drifts are deeper, the bulldozer works well for pushing this, but really slow. At least we didn't lose power this time! Now to tap tomorrow in snow shoes..... -.-

[spencer11]

well i dug my sled out, its in a hole with 3 feet sitting around it, wont be going anywhere till tomorrow. tapping in this is gonna take a while

[northwoods_forestry]

16" here in So VT. Plenty enough for me.

[68bird]

Okay had 28"thos morniing got about 4 or 5 more on top of that. It's up to my waist out there!

[red maples]

ended up with 27-28 inches. man is it rough getting the woods.... hard to just walk and difficult getting around with snow shoes too. alot of snow!!!

[bees1st]

It may be a little tough getting around on snow shoes now, give it a day or so, once it settles a bit it will be easier.

[tuckermtn]

13" in Andover. Very dense, windblown snow. Threw 3 shear pins on the 3pt hitch blower.

[adk1]

we got 8-10" here. was hoping for twice that but its better than nothing! Some of you guys post some snow pics man!

[maple maniac65]

we got all of 6 inches and 14 below this morning

[Fishgill]

Got over 2' in north central Mass. I finally looks like winter.

It blew so hard it snowed inside the sugar house, Snow came in a small crack up under the eave of the cupola.

[TapME]

ended up with 20'' here. sure does look like a normal winter here. Now for a normal spring for the sap to flow.

I got about 6" in my sugar house. Probably should have made cupola doors for this season...

[Randy Brutkoski]

Only about 5 or 6 inches here. I am glad because us fat guys dont really care for the deep snow.

[Bruce L]

Think we ended up with around 14" of snow,hard to tell so much blowing around and drifting.Temperature here yesterday morning minus 22 fahrenheit,so no work getting done in the bush.

[boondocker]

Ran into some big issues here at the Back Ridge Sugar House. Good old NEMO pounded the north eastern side of my sugar house so hard it blew the the 30×60 window right out of the case. Needless to say i have a serious problimb inside now. I went in to check everthing on sat. morning and found about 12"-14" of snow on everything. Every sugaring tool and piece of equipment i own is in there and i about had a melt down right there! Oh well not much i can do about it at this point but start cleanint it up and change out a window. Im heading in tonight and fire up the wood stove to get some heat going and start cleaning.

[adk1]

wow..yeah, that must have been some suprise. make sure you get plenty of pics of it..will be a great conversation piece in the future!

[boondocker]

Yea i will post some pics of the mess i have so we can all have a good laugh together! Its about we can do now is look at it and laugh right? Good to see i wasent the only one that got snow drifts inside.
