Hello all.
I'm new to this. This year will be my first season. I am doing it with my son. We did a garden this year and that went well so I figured that we needed a fun winter "thing".
Thanks to this site I think (hope) I am ready to go. I have everything for a basic block arch with restaurant pans, and collection buckets and stuff. We will have about 10-15 taps.
My main uncertainty is when to tap. I know 40ish in the day freeing at night, but I am reading info on hear about a "Jan Thaw"
and my upcoming forecast looks like the attached pic.
if that forecast stays true, do i tap or wait till its actually in the 40's since this is the Jan Thaw that I see mentioned in other threads? I don't want to tap early then miss the real run if the taps start to close.
I am located in Eastern Orange County
Thanks for any info.,
Kevin
