Hung sixty buckets this afternoon in Potsdam. Trees in the woods and away from the street were running. Those near streets sidewalks and driveways were not running...perhaps deeper frost depth?? We'll tap in Hopkinton tomorrow.

Tapped a couple hundred in Hopkinton today. Some were running. Tapped a big Norway Maple in Potsdam this afternoon and it was running like a faucet.

Hi everyone who posted here! Glad to hear that tapping is getting done! We finally finished tapping on 2-19. We've had our first run and are prepping to start boiling tomorrow. I hope that everyones' sap is flowing good and some fresh 2013 syrup is in the near future!

The pump has been on here since yesterday afternoon, a slow run but about 2,000 gallons at 1.9 test so far. Got the pans sweetened and the RO is running now. It's a Mark E8 back from cleaning at Lapierre and was doing 1.5 gpm @ 7.5% with 4.3 gpm permeate. Last year (when new) it was 4.5 gpm but the sap was a little warmer then too.
