As of 4/10 -135 taps in ( most on Ski's ) 4/11- started running on new taps set in am, but just enough frozen sap in lines to hold up the 135 run, till about 1 pm .Ended 11/12 with 235 taps in so far, with about 175 gals in holding tank ,200 taps more to go and 350 , if I can find my other main line (went down with tree limbs ) under 2 to 3 foot hard pack ...But the good was ...It felt like I was walking on water !

super ED, check your dates. You show 4/10, 4/11 and 11/12. I'm confused unless you meant 3/10, 3/11 and 3/12 since you posted today, 3/14. Based on the time of day you posted my guess is that you weren't fully awake (2:59 am).

PWD. :lol: Well, it would work as an explanation. :)

And hello, Dave! :D

Maple flats ,I think ur dates look closer than mine, lol. Been some long days .But it may have been a few to many ,of them there night caps ! and I should have been sleeping !And to top it off I had another 4" to 5" of snow again today to deal with ! Good luck !

Wow, I wish I had the farm line tapped! The few trees here at the home/orchard have given a little more than 1 gallon of sap per tap average, and that was when I collected at 2PM. It's flowing pretty good. They're on buckets, and I wish I'd checked the sugar for each tree. You can taste the difference! Oh well, hydrometer (adjusted for temperature) reads 3.1%, for all the sap together; I am not complaining! :D

[ADC]

Good luck to all! Collect tomorrow night for sure. Ran well today and I hope to use the hydrometer to see how the first run is.

How's everyone else in Oneida county doing? Sap finally started running again yesterday here...hadn't run since 3/18! Ran good yesterday and today though.

My taps are totally dry today. Nothing running in the buckets or tubing.

[ADC]

Tapped over the weekend. 43 buckets out with more to come this week. Ran well Saturday, will collect tonight. Let the boiling begin!!

Where on the hill are you producing? I grew up in West Branch or Route 26 and started making syrup when I was a kid.
