We are expected to get up to a foot of snow in the woods over the next couple of days. This will help slowthe spring warm up, which tends to prolong the maple sap flow season. After a few cool days this week, it looks like the following 7 days should all be good for sap flow. What we like to see is below freezing at night followed by a quick warm up. The greater the spread in high and low temperatures, typically the better the sap will flow. All things are looking promising to have a season that is much better than last year. The only lingering uncertainty is that we don't know how the trees will respond to the dry soil that resulted from last summer's drought.
