predictions please

I hope your right Maple Flats. I don't mind the season starting late I just hope it ends late also. That's why I have been asking people whats the latest they have boiled in my area. I am just wondering if anyone has gone to May 1st or so.

The guys up north of us here in Maine usually go from about the last week of March into the first week of May, which is good because they may just make some syrup. I don't think there are many who have made it to May in Central Maine. The operations that do are up over 1000 feet in elevation, and way up near the border.

Could the people with experience please predict where this season is going.

If you can give me a highly accurate weather forecast for the next three weeks, I will give you a slightly-moderately accurate forecast on the sugaring season.

That would take all of the fun out of it. The odds of picking a perfect NCAA bracket are on the order of one in a quintillion (depending on how you weight the odds of each game). People try to pick that all the time - your odds here can't be much worse!

sugar content has been great the last two days with a decent amount of sap. the trees should let loose after the storm.

if the weather happens exactly as accuweather predicts for the next four weeks, it'll be a banner season!

I looked at our records and the usual date for the last sap runs is around April 5th, so that means we have about two more good weeks if the weather pops back to normal. The average temp for the end of March around here is about 43 degrees, and in April it goes from that to the high 50's at the end of the month.
