Extended Forecast.

Anyone else checked out the 30 day forecast? Looks like maple temperatures right through February.

I'm waiting until February before I tap, but it sure is inviting especially on my lines with vacuum.

I've heard the same. I haven't seen any numbers, and I know things get cold after the 26th +/-, so I'm waiting to see the forecast for the first week of February. The upcoming cold snap will be a tight freeze, so what comes after will be the key as to whether I'll tap or not. The way this winter has been I would expect an early start to the season. I generally tap around mid month-ish anyway, so I might be two weeks early. We'll see how it unfolds.
