A bit more snow for us later today, then super-melty tomorrow with summer-like temps, then cold and snowy again the next day. What a seesaw spring ride.
Is the maple sap flowing yet? Might want to do a sugar bush visit this spring. It's been a while since we've done that.
@ottaross It has started in southern Quebec. Cans are starting to appear in market stalls in Montreal.

They tapped the trees in Almonte March 1st.
There’s a listing of places open in the region at the bottom of this local CTV story.
It’s March break this week for the OCDSB, the largest of the school boards, so it may be bustling all week.

@AlsoPaisleyCat aha - excellent resource. Thx! Oh, excellent point about March Break; Perhaps better to wait until after that is over.
