3rdgen, how much snow you get from this storm? We left Fri. eve for Corning, got a call Sat. night from parents that we had over 2' since we left, then another foot this morning and still coming. We got home Sun. afternoon, shoveled roof and some other stuff. I'd say we got around 3'+ on the level, after some settling. Still need to plow rest of our driveway, hopefully tomorrow.

Not many maples. It sucks down here.
Down here we have mostly Reds when you can find some, most of our woods are made up of oaks, ash, beech, hickory. The area I was going to tap was maybe 2 acres of the 25 because the rest didn't have enough maples close enough together.

I am going to give the other guy a call in the morning to see about getting those trees. I would really love to own that stand of trees. It is only a mile from the house and it would make a great location to put a real sugarshack right there with the trees. Just a quick count and I would say somewhere between 150-200 maples in area of about 3 acres I would say.

We'll see. If I don't get the trees I should have plenty with my trees on vac with the TINY evap for this year.

Hey Tim - quite the lake effect snow event, huh?

You guys are used to it, but we're even getting it good down here in Onondaga County. About 30" at the house. Still a bit more on the ground at camp (near 3rd gen), but we're closing in. Still coming down now at a good clip, but not accumulating much today.

Hey Brad be careful on that early ice, especially if its snow covered.
It doesn't set up so fast when its got snow on early.

We got some snow from New Brunswick in that backwards snowstorm, so we passed a little on to New Hampshire.

We ended up with only around 15 inches around here, but they got around 2 feet downeast.

I am okay with the amount we got.

I noticed that most of it has slid off the sugarhouse roof, so I am not going to go crazy shovelling since it has probably taken most of the weight off now.
