This is only my 2nd year tapping and the weather in southern Indian is warmer than last year. It appears that day temps will stay above freezing every day in the foreseeable forecast. We haven't had a long cold spell staying below freezing more than a couple days at all this year.
Should I go ahead and tap soon?
Wait a few weeks?
Will the mild winter hurt the sap flow?

Hopefully someone in your area will chime in but we wait till we have some freezing weather and not going much above for a couple weeks then getting temps like 20 or colder at night going to 40 in the daytime,and that is normally about the first of February for me in northern N.J.
