50+ degrees, but not tapping...

In southern NH, we'll be in the 50's on Friday and above freezing for 2.5 days. Since it will be cloudy and coming out of a deep freeze, I wonder if it will run much.

Anyone drilling to catch this run? My gut says to hang tight for now, even with these check valve spouts.

Looks like it's going back into the freezer afterwards. I can't imagine it would run enough to make it worth it.

It's just the January thaw. Unless you're a large producer it isn't time to tap yet.

2nd what Russ said. It’s going to be a very short January thaw and they are talking back into the freezer for quite a while. I would wait until weather looks more promising for a longer period. That way your taps will be fresher and last longer if we have a late season.
