I tapped my trees Jan 16, first two weeks I had a good run, 60 taps on drop lines about 70gals of sap, now most of my jugs where dry or very little sap since then Are my tap holes closing up or its just the weather I only get a chance to go to my property on the weekends any advise would help thanks

I would say it's the weather, it been cold and snowy in Deposit the past week. Your tubing should last up to 6 weeks before healing themselves.

Anyone else still getting good sap? I collected about 65 gallons of crystal clear sap last night. Looks like the next couple of days will be good.
