We can use the moisture. Won't hang around long . . I see mid to upper 50s starting Thursday through to the end of the month. Banana belt , is that what we are calling it now ? America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Well, compared to "up north" . . . this is indeed the banana belt. ;0) And I'll take it. River stays open longer in the fall/early winter and is already open now. I love my boats and would rather operate on open water versus on top the ice. Snow comes and goes without it being a PIA. Ice fishing can be had in the back sloughs, as well as trapping 'rats and beaver through the ice. I believe it was Trader Vic that christened this part of the Lower Wisconsin River valley as the "banana belt.". Works for me. Lifetime member of WTA and NTA

Quite a bit of Sunday early could be rain or a mix and that could keep snowfall totals lower. We hauled 900 plus gallons of sap Friday, 748 gals Saturday and will collect again today so the buckets won't have a lot of sap freezing Tuesday and Wednesday. Collecting yesterday AM in the 35-50 mph winds was an ordeal for sure. Have line up several indoor tasks for Sunday and Monday. Bryce

Got a fridge full of food, leftover roast/potatoes and gravy and Guinness Stout so I think we will survive. With a 250 acre wide open field right on the north side of our road things might get exciting if we get a lot of wind. Not going to sweat it. Moosetrot

The last 3 days we collected 2386 gallons of sap that averaged 2.7 sugar. Now it looks like a week off for us. Lots of things to catch up on the next 2-4 days. Bryce
