Tapping in Ontario

I just checked the 15 day forecast http://www.accuweather.com/canada-fo...etric=1&set=99
My question is do I tap to catch those days a week from now or do you think it is just a tease? I usually tap about the first week in March.

I'm a former sailboat racer, local ponds to long distance ocean racing, a pilot and now grow hay for competition horses ... and syrup. I'm hooked on weather. A couple years ago I started printing the 15 day forecasts and saving them. Awesome. On day 15 they were withing 5 degrees and hit rain or shine about 1 time out of 10.

Retune to the 5 day forecast and forget the 15.

i agree with brent it is just to far to get it right i stick to the 7 day forcast the 15 day is just telling you the obvious

did you know that all 3 of us are with in a 2 hour drive from each other

Glad to see there is another Ontario boy out there, Hi Jerome, Brent and James I do hope thing open up for you guys soon. I still am hoping for the first weekend in March if the weather hold true. This would be about 2 weeks sooner than we normally tap. But it would be nice to have and early start even those I’m 3-4 hours north of you guys. Every thing is done and the drills are charged and ready.:rolleyes:

Hey Jerome if you look at the weather fore cast now it has totally changed.

Last night the CTV weather guesser was sounding the alarms about the big system coming onshore in California. 1 to 2 meters or snow out there and a big dumping when it gets here Tuesday. This morning, CNN puts a totally different spin on it ... 1-2 feet as far east as Salt Lake and Denver and less the further east it comes.

Keep in mind at all times, in Canada, the weather guessers are Government Employees.

My long-range forecaster has always been the moons. The biggest change in weather is always around the full moon and that is in the 3rd week of March this year. Because it's late this year when it does come it's going to come in a hurry! I want to be completely ready by the middle of March.

Well I just got back in from checking my test tree and it has got a gallon of sap in the bucket and it is about 1 drip every 8 seconds so I got 50 taps on buckets that I’m going to go tap now and see what I get and I don’t need the tractor to get them!!!!!
