LIke a tidal wave

It hit me like a tidal wave; all this snow. Thigh deep drifts between the house and the compost bins. Snow piles six feet tall lining driveways and streets. All that snow translates to all that water. And all that water translates to all that sap for the sugaring season. Come late February the trees will be bulging. With runs resembling a gushing river. The pan will be lit 24/7.

We could top our all time backyard record of 5 gallons of syrup in 2009 when 66 inches of snow fell that January. Only time and the weather will tell.

Oh My Goodness! Be still my heart.
