Had a good first run, then unusually mild weather set in, and the flow pretty much stopped, so I pulled my buckets, but left the taps and lines. Woke up to 20 degree temps this morning. In your experience, is that enough to make them flow when it warms up later? Guess it wont hurt to put them back out. Weekend and beyond looks like good temps for sap also.

Yes, that will get them flowing again if the holes didn't close up during the warm spell. Hang those buckets back up and hope for the best.

Yeah! Collected 30 gallons this morning! Things should get back to ideal for sap flow this weekend too!
