You're so right about the deep snow the past few years compared to this year. That's a fine looking shack, and there's a lot of the snow gone these past few days. I tapped a couple of trees on the west side of my field, buckets were over half full this afternoon so it'll give us some drinking sap anyways.
Maxj,
