Long range forecast for southeastern ontario is saying 3rd week of March before anything above freezing. Was going to start tapping this weekend but going to hold off for another week at least. I can put in my 150 taps in a day if everything goes well so I don't need to plan too far ahead. Looks like it's going to be another very late season. Also sounds like we are in for a few more dups of snow, making it even more fun to tramp around in the woods. My biggest concern is weather will go from too cold to too warm very quickly and we will end up with a short run. I guess we can't do anything about the weather and, like a typical farmer, we're never happy with it. One good thing with late start is my RO parts still haven't arived yet and I was worried I might have to boil raw sap.
