Started to drip here today

[Shawn]

Started to drip some here today, pipeline way down back where more snow and then the sun went away and cool wind seemed to stop things a little, not dripping much but its a start, looks like here tonight not below freezing but those trees have had a hard cold winter and with tomorrow warm up hopefully they uncork some but then we go back into a cold snap for two days but that is ok re-build that pressure. In the mean time back to cutting ten cords of firewood up for next year for my and son's homes and will leave ten cords for next year to cut up, keep busy and eye on the dripping:cool:

Sorry to respond late Brad back to you, not good, run some and then the cold and run some and then a cold snap again did not get above 18 here today with the cold north winds and Monday cold looks like Tuesday a warm up I hope after all this work again that we go longer then two weeks like last year

I hope so. Not much down here either really. I have boiled 3 times so far and haven't made much syrup. road side full sun buckets are even running. but vacuum tubing is just plain frozen. and any air that gets into the lines just turns to slush. So just waiting until tuesday.

I'm pruning a bunch of full sun sugar maples today at work and they are dripping quite well, it got me excited. I'm getting impatient for the 2016 season lol.
It's good to see some people starting to post!
