Whats everyones predictions on the season in central NH "Andover"

[maple flats]

Cold until it warms. When you start to get freeze thaw cycles, I predict the sap will start to flow.

[Shawn]

I think by the end of this coming week we are going to start to get very busy

[Russell Lampron]

I predict that we will know what kind of season it was by mid April.

[maplerookie]

my prediction: Syrup will be made soon by all. no matter the quanity we will do what needs to be done to produce sweet liguid gold.

With all the snow and the 3 inchs of ice thats under it,I think that in some locations,the season may be a little longer for some.The longer the snow stays on the ground,the longer the season.I hope.One thing for sure,we will find out.

I get asked this all the time- ever since my beard went grey, folks seem to assume I know what I'm talking about....I always predict an average season, that way, I'm never too far off.........

[mapleguy]

Are you a meteorologist by any chance? HAHA!

We made 80% of our syrup last year all in the month of April (about 2,220 gallons). The only difference this year is the 3-4 feet of snow coverage, we had about sixteen inches this time last year. We are wondering if we'll be boiling into May this year since we boiled into the last week of April last year.

[Saltlick]

Its going to be fast and furious and then it will be over.

Short season. To cold for this time of year...for an average we will warm up quickly with a change in the jet stream and we temps to high at night for good runs. Current forecast is for Friday in my area for a run...that will be the 7th of March. I remember years we were all washed up by the 15th.

Lets pray for a season like last year and we can all produce into April.

My area is South wesern VT & NY Border. Elevation will play a huge roll this season.
