Hi, the sap run in Rimouski, first collect today and finish the run tomorrow, then start the boiler. Not all the trees have start to flow yet, but it's comming. Collect near 200 gallons of sap for 625 tap in all. Forecast in good for tomorrow and snow for saturday and sunday, about 15 cm. Bernard in Québec

That seems very low for the amount of taps Bernard

I only have 30 taps, only boil on Saturdays , I will finish with about 14 gallons minimum
I am about 35 km north of lachute

That does seem quite low Bernard. Did most of Quebec have a poor season? Did the weather not cooperate?

Bernard, Rimouski is way up there, Hard to believe your season is over. Maybe the St Lawrence keeps things warmer?
Sorry you didn't have a better season.
