Your season is way ahead of ours. Got nothing here, although I noticed the blueberry bushes are budding.

I still have snow in my back yard, I'm at higher elevation on the north side of a hill though. It was just yesterday the grass started appearing again.

Only places I have exposed grass is over the septic tank, and where I plowed. Still 6" of snow average, with piles a couple feet deep.

LUCKY!
We got 2' with 5' drifts here and there. The 6" that's left is after 2 weeks of temps hitting the low to mid 40°s. LOTS of snow melted, but still quite a bit left.
COME ON SPRING!! :whip:

You guys must be at least a month ahead of us...season wise. It is snowing and blowing here, still in the deep freeze. The big ice cube called Lake Champlain will keep it cold here for at least another month and a half.

If we don't get a good freeze this weekend, the maple sap season will be over.
Don't know if they even started up north yet.

Sap seems to be flowing well here tsb, many here have gone to blue bags to collect sap & they are filling fast & some have been replaced at least once already. Hopefully it will make up for the crap year they had in 2012.
