How Cold does it need to get?
Forecast here is showing 6C today, only 0C tonight and up to 6C again tomorrow...
Is zero degrees cold enough to make things work?
I think they will likely drip with those temps. I have had some drip with daytime high around zero this season. Not very strong drip but If the sun pops out it seems to get them going. We have had a good drip going on in the Bruce for 3 days now. At least I have as I haven't herd about others close to me in the bruce peninsula. Was supposed to be cloudy today but so far sun is out. Fingers crossed

How are your taps producing today?Originally Posted by MarkReynolds
When I collected this morning they were dripping pretty good I haven't gotten away from the shack for a bit but I'll update when I go back to the bush.
