Great weather – for maple syrup


Maple syrup producers in Southwestern Ontario are having a great season.

The sap has been flowing steadily since the middle of March as temperatures dipped below freezing over night and rose nicely above freezing during daylight hours.

Two producers in the Waterloo Region told the local newspaper that the sugar content this year has been well above average, so they anticipate bumper, if not record, yields this spring.

And then came the snow again, prolonging the season.

By the time it is spring on more than the calendar, it seems likely that records will be broken.
