No freeze and none in the forecast. Looks like we got about 5000-6000 gals overnight. The end is a few days away. Good luck to all.

It looks the same here. 35 Wed. night, could turn into 30 easily. Especially given their pattern of over estimating temperatures this spring. Yesterday was an amazing run though. I almost had to break out the sap snorkel. :lol:

I'm done. Barely any sap since Friday. Temps here just didn't cooperate.

Checked tanks this am and about 6000 gallons since yesterday at 300 pm. Sugar is down but making nice syrup.

Nice freeze last night, 26 degrees. Now let's see if the trees have anything left to give.

All done over here. I'll be interested to hear how they do for you.

Trees running very well. Only problem is the sugar is dropping even after the freeze last night. Sap is clear and making a nice dark amber.

We pulled the plug. Making decent dark amber but sugar at .5, no more barrels for the second time, too long waiting on the r/o, and too hot in the sugar house when it is 70 outside......We had a great season.

Boiled my last 50 gallons Sunday. Pulled taps today and cleaned everything up. It was fun but I'm glad it's over! Turkey season is right around the corner.
