We had overnight snow squalls and and bone chilling winds all day here. About dusk a clipper roared through and we had a 15min white-out. The town hwy dept. has been bucking snow banks back with the payloader all week.

Bro, that looks like a Ruff one! Sure hope you get some relief soon! We lost most of our recent snow today, was 52 for a high,,, But we are heading into a temp change again, highs may make it to the 30's during the day for the next ten days, first pic was this morning about 9:00 am and we had already lost half of what we had other was at 3:00 pm Odd year for sure

Well the weather watchers are saying we will get to about 32F sunday morning with wintery mix, starting Sat afternoon, and then rite back into the deep freeze until the next weekend.

I asked this on another thread earlier, but didn't see your answer. Will all of this snow / cold temp have any effect on your maple production this year? Not just getting TO the trees, but how the sap will run? There was a friend of my father's here in Southern Ohio that used to produce maple syrup, and he said the amount of snow on the ground effects how much and how long the sap will run. Is that true for your area?
 
The old saying goes, "more snow,more syrup". However with the wackyness of the weather nowdays, it remains to be sean. We need a series of weeks, usually in March/early April, with cold temps at night and above freezing days to to have good runs. Last year it stayed cold for many days at a time, and then we would get a day where it warmed and then froze up again for days at a time. When it warmed up in April, it stayed warm, and there was very little moisture in the ground to produce sap.

Geez Loren you guys do have a little winter left to contend with. We have had almost no snow this winter and up and down temps. Hope things mellow out soon for you guys to the east, we do see the news showing all the snow and I wonder in some of the places what in the heck they do with snow when there is no place left to pile it. Rod.
 
I hope it lets up for you pretty soon. We haven't had anything like that for many years. Around here anyone who is younger than 35 hasn't seen a winter like yours. Our last really bad one was in 82 and it wasn't as bad as 75 and 78.

In this area people are getting tired of winter but after they get done whining about it they do agree you guys out east have it a lot worse than we do.
 
Cold as all get out here in NCOhio. Minus 25 wind chill all day and going to be even colder tonight and in the morning.Like to see it warm up some, got an old fashioned standing seam roof to repair. Just a little chill on a roof right now.
 
we need a button like that herein southern ind , loren ,,,. I would a thought that it blowed itself out here and had nuthin left for you folx in upstate ny ,,.
 
Loren,
Looks like a real old fashioned winter. The kind you tell your grandchildren about. That is what we had last winter and this winter has been quite tolerable-so far. I don't miss fighting it every day like last year. Don
 
:shock: Hockey smokes batman, what a messy day!!! Nothing personal but, I'm glad its y'all and not me!!!!! Kenny
 
The only thing I can say is, I know you were snug and warm in your shop and when you got in to the house "wifey" had a good meal for you
 
Not nice here in W. Mi. either, between the "lake-effect" sub-zero temps. Yesterday morning it's so cold here that my long-johns said "we ain't going to work!" to cold to work outside. The "mrs." arms are gett'en stronger just keep'en the wood stove going this winter. The "weather-guesser's " tell'en me march ain't any better. Loranyou maybe haul'en sap in may!!!Hee Hee.
