xv535 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 After a long and hard winter with a lot of snow in February and March coupled with -20 C temperatures it looks like spring is finally making it's way north. Canada Geese arrived on March 19...don't know where they'll land as the fields are still under snow and all the lakes are frozen.... and yesterday I saw a bike on the highway....bet he was cold. Sure signs of spring in the Great White North! Today was a nice warm 6 C (is that warm or what???) and sunny so I went to the shop and dragged the bike out, fired it up and took a couple of runs down the driveway. Sometime around the second week of April I'll put some insurance on it and take it for a real ride unless we get some more snow Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well the birch sap is rising here so that means its positively sweltering, do you tap birch or maple up there Rocky ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xv535 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 No Maple trees here Barkwindjamer. I's too damn cold, but we do have lots of birch and you're right....the sap is running. Sugaring off is not common here due to the lack of maple trees but some misplaced interlopers from Ontario and Quebec who live here do tap the birch and boil the sap down to syrop. Personally, I would rather drink a Guinness. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6wlrz_best-beer-guinness-commercial_fun Oldgitonabike you have to educate me....remember I'm from the colonies...What is the colonial equivalent of my own 'cable-car'? I may have one. Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
