Very long, cold snowy winter here at Otty Lake near Perth Ontario about 2 hrs North of Watertown NY. Here it is St Patties Day and 7am temps -24C(-11F) with wind chill of -30C (-22F!). Will it ever end.
Forecast is -15C tonight again!
Patiently awaiting maple sap run. We have our 2000 taps in place and looking for 35F to 40F day temps and 25F night temps. to get the sap running. Close to 24" of snow in the maple bush/forest made for difficult tapping.
Can't wait to be able to walk down to the dock and hop in the boat in T shirt and shorts!
Good time to plan those late spring and summer trips!
