Got a break today,, happy about no sap running today.
Had a great weekend, collected and boiled approx. 150 gallons and its all syrup now.
All cleaned up and ready for next run, tomorrow maybe. Its nice to get a break in the action after being busy three days in a row.
One run last Saturday,Sunday and that's been it ?
Pouring rain and warm ever since.
Where oh where has the season gone....
It's been a slow week for sap in my neck of the woods. (North Bay) Weekend of March 12 was a great run and we got 12 litres of light amber from that run. The trees have dripped a little since, but not enough to boil. Old man winter is hitting us with a spring snow storm tonight but Easter weekend looks promising for another run. Nice to see the Maple addicts to the south having a late season run. Have fun with it.
it will come in haliburton ont it gust started :cool:
Easter weekend for sure looks good, very good. It is Thursday eve and snow and cold. Tomorrow (Friday) forecast says a few degrees above freezing and sunny, similar forecast for Saturday.
Let hope she runs like we think it will.
Easter weekend was a good run with plenty of sap, and then again on the 30th. Looks like cold weather for the first weekend of April so time to catch up on boiling. Still 10 inches of snow on the ground. Shaping up to be a great season.
So much for April showers!:confused: First of the month brought 6 inches of heavy wet snow followed by several days of double digit night time lows. And just when I thought things might get back to normal, we get the worst snowstorm of the season that dumped a sap stopping 14 inches of the white stuff. Needless to say we've not collected any sap for 10 days now. Had to get the snow shoes out and repack trails for the bucket line. It looks like double digit highs for the week end. Hope it does not get too warm.
It looks like we'll get one more weekend boil and then shut it down for another year. This weeks forecast is calling for 3 or 4 night of freezing that might just give us one more run. Can't complain though, we've had a great season. The red and silver Maples in town are starting to bud, but still some snow coverage up my way. Anybody else in the North Bay area still going?
I'm in Pembroke/Deep river area and still no buds in the bush. Sap slowed down since last weekend but hoping cooler temps this weekend will bring a little more sap.
