Just checked the forcast here for the next 7-10 days. weather.gov has lower temps than intellicast for the same time frame. Neither are great but at least there is a hint of sap weather in the future! Hope to be tapped by weekend.

Funny how much difference a few hundred miles of latitude can make. In eastern Ontario: on Monday we'll get well above freezing with a bunch of rain. That's the only day in the next 2 weeks we're forecasted to get above freezing.
Doesn't that figure, I just checked the 15 day again and now they only show 4 days possible flow, with the warmest of those a lone 40 degrees. I think my grandmother used to forcast better than they can with all of the computor models they have.

yes the 10 day usually looks good then as it gets closer the temps keep dropping. hard to believe they can keep a job

Yeah Theron, the forecast is looking good for the up coming week. I figure Sun I will have enough to fire up evap again and it looks like the next 7 days after that will be runners. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
The local weather guy said the other day that Feb so far has been only .1 degrees below normal, we had a few days well above and alot of days only a few degrees below. So it works out that we are almost right on for Feb.
One thing to remember and I have said this several times before, the weather forecasters are almost always over optomistic this time of year. People want to see and hear happy things, not depressing things.
Two nights ago they forecasted a low of 24 above that evening, when I got home from work in the morning, it was -4 below. If I was that much off at something at work, I would have been suspended or terminated. LOL
Picked up the EEU, sink and filter / canner today.
Hope that EEU works!!!
Going to tap on Sunday, then see what happens.
Looks like a couple of days in the low 40's this week.
Next week should be ok.
Those weather guys use a number of models for predicting the weather and sometimes they have to go with a blend of the different models.
Also, keep in mind these prediction are for a large area and when you look at your weather condition you are looking at site specific.
There are little weather climates all over the place, so it's hard to always be right.
Just what's going on here and my view of the weather guys and their job.
I always use the National Weather Service Forecasts, they seem to be the best.
I also like to look at the discussions, that is interesting reading.

And there is a major change in the 15 day again. Now my 15 day shows 8 day good flow. They keep changing big time every few hours. I still would like to find a weather forcaster with a fairly good accuracy record. I am going to tap the rest this weekend if something doesn't come up to stop me. If time permits I will also add about 25-30 more taps in my new bush.
Mapleflats,
You're looking to far out and with confidence.
Once a forecaster gets out beyond 4 days, 5 at the most, they are really trying to look into a crystal ball. and they will tell you that
Like I said, go to the National Weather Service.
You may get your wx out of Albany, so, do a search for "National Weather Service, Albany".
Then find your county and watch your wx with them for a while.
Depending on how their home page is set up will depend on where you have to go.
I'll try to find it for you and get back with a link for you.
It must be a bear anyway with the lake effect stuff where you are.
I'll be back!!
Dave
