Any predictions? We probably won't get a freeze tonight, but it's gonna warm up and the atmospheric pressure is gonna plummet as the rain rolls in. From what I understand, I expect to have a lot of sap tomorrow. What say you?

I'm curious as to how you made out overnight?

I know whenever I make a prediction (based on weather app forecasts), I'm pretty much always wrong. Sometimes I feel like I'm the George Costanza of the maple world.

Well some sap did come in and it was still flowing at 7am. But not a lot. I pretty much suck at predicting it too. But I keep trying! Funny, I have 10 taps on roadside buckets and those did great overnight. Still hoping to have enough sap when I get home to do a worthwhile boil tonight.

Sap ran OK last night. it was running this morning when I did my tank check. it was weird last night. Temp's were dropping to 30F as we were getting ready to boil, and it felt like a cold 30. Wrapped things up in the SH at midnight and it was 38 outside and felt warm.
