So, we've had a rather cold Jan & Feb this year here in southern Indiana. We have some winters that never see single digits but this year we have seen negative temps a number of times. I thought this was a blessing because I haven't had the shack or arch ready so it the delay has been used to get ready for the season.
Well, my question is, how long will it take for the trees to start running given that the lows have been 10*F and highs barely breaking 20*F for the past 5 days and today starts a warming trend which ends next week with highs at 60*F and lows at 60*F. Also will the 3-4 days of 55+ degree days mean the end of my season? I sure hope not since I've spent quite a bit of money to jump into this hobby / addiction Andreas hoping to get some decent volume to sell.
Now, I realize it may sound like I asking folks to look into the crystal ball but what I'm really interested in is whether the 20" frost line that we have now will keep the buds from popping next week during the 60*F weather.
Thanks!
