Here in central Virginia, which granted isn't really syrup country, I've had a horrible year so far. To date (since late December) I have only gathered about 3-4 gallons of sap. But by this time last year I had gathered 75 gallons! I only tap around 10 trees so I never expect to get too much. A tree that has historically given a large percentage of my yield has so far not given any this year. The only thing I can think of is that this warm "winter" we're having just isn't letting my get any sap this year. I had so much syrup left over from last year that I gave some out to family for Christmas - but now I'm wishing I hadn't since it doesn't look too promising for much this year. Hopefully winter will return next year (or I suppose there's still a chance for it to arrive this year).
Hope the rest of you are faring better...
