So much snow has built up in Hebron that town officials have decided to postpone the annual Maple Festival.
One maple syrup maker today plowed through the snow so tomorrow, he'll be able to tap trees.
"It's a disease and there's absolutely no cure for this," said Ron Wenzel. "This is the second time in the 26 years that I've been making maple syrup that I did not make any syrup in the month of February."
Last year, he started tapping March 9 and had 90 gallons of syrup by April 2. Usually, he said, it takes twice as long to make 90 gallons of syrup.
He'll be showing off his sugar house, and, he hopes, fresh syrup, during the Hebron Maple Festival March 21-22, which will take place one weekend later than usual.
