Nice reset with 2 nights hitting 24F. Avg. 1.75 gallons per tap. Hopefully my trees can make it through the weekend as next weeks looks cold again.

Got down to 25Flat night. Peeked in the buckets after work tonight and looks they they just started to drip again. Looks like they made it through the warm weekend. Hope to get 3 or more runs this week into the weekend.

Waiting to for a thaw to see what kind of runs are left. Taps were wet Tuesday and Wednesday but to cold to run. I have about a dozen trees in warmer areas that are all done for the year. Looks like the runs are going to drag into next week for me.

Trees finally thawed out. Got just over 3/4 gallon per tap on the tapholes on my trees that didn't dry up last week. The holes healed and closed off on 20 of my 106 buckets. Sap was crystal clear and still running last night. Going to collect again tonight and boil tomorrow afternoon when my nieces get into town for Easter.

Last boil yesterday. Season totals- 1115 gallons collected, 1005 gallons processed, 22-1/2 gallons syrup. Warm spell 2 weeks ago really hurt my sap runs this past week.
