Not much of a run today at all, had about 4-5" in the bottom of my 210 round tank from just under 200 taps. I thought for sure it was going to be a good one today as it was frozen good this morning. How was where you are?

I'm in the northwest corner of Mass. and we had a so-so day today. Yesterday was better. I was expecting a better day today as well.

Including delivered sap it was second best flow of season today for me. I got 130 or more gallons today. One site buckets were almost full; others just OK. I've made about 18 gallons syrup this season and have 160 gallons sap on hand. 150+/- taps including delivered. They forecasted 34low last night we got 28 tonight s forecast is 32 I'm hoping for a repeat of today tomorrow. I'm in Hollis nh on the mass border

SE Michigan it started 2 weeks ago. Only got 125 gallons of sap in the 2 weeks and nothing the past 5 days. Terrible! if the Buds open and it stops it's my absolute worst year and I only have one gallon finished and one gallon probally in the pan once it's finished...and I usually make 10-15 gallons off my taps!

If it's done my syrup price is going to be $50 a Bottle for the 20 some bottles I'll have, lol!

Across the river from you, 325abn, in Chester. Today was about 40 gallons on 55 gravity taps, best day so far this year. Icing up again tonight, and expected to be warmer tomorrow.

The sap has been running about 1/2 of what I've expected so far. Course my first boil was only 3 days ago.

I've collected a whopping 17 gallons of sap for the entire season so far. Brutal.

Probably got about 100 gal in the tank today. Yesterday seemed like it would have been today with a harder freeze night before last and warmer during the day. How to predict anything this year.
