Tomorrow is one of those weird days that I never know what's going to happen. Forecast is warming to mid to upper thirties from 17 now. Snow to sleet to ice to heavy rain. What do those in maple land think..... is the sap going to flow tomorrow in Oliverea? Even just a little bit?

Small sap flow due to the extreme cold and a shortened day time high with no sun.. Your only good flow hope is no freezup tom night

it will flow moderately until the heart of the storm moves in. Once that happens the pressure will drop and the trees will close up. (at least thats what it did last week when we had rain)

It takes some time for things to get thawed out if it got down to 17, it froze pretty good. Depending on how low it stayed below 20, I would say no or hardly at all.

What is a gallon of syrup going to sell for in your area this season?

Not enough! It's in the $40's to the $60's.
