anyone tapping this week?????

[03weim]

I am looking at the weather for this week and wondering if anyone is planning on tapping this weekend??? I'm still learning and am looking for advice on dates to start tapping

Hey there 03,
New myself and wondering the same. I [I]think[I] it's a bit early, but not too sure. I only tapped for the 1st time last year on a whim and it was 3-18 when I put in the 1st taps. So, I think we'll continue to get ready and try and be patient.......

03, I'm looking at the 10-day forecast (http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USMA0041?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared) where you are, and it does look tempting... good conditions for the coming week. But then it looks like it's going to cool down again during the days starting next weekend.

Last year I tapped on the first weekend of March, and right now I plan on tapping on the last weekend of Feb. I'm starting to itch, though.

looked at all the dates and I will just get everything ready and wait for the 2nd week in march to tap. that would be the same as the last 2 years. If the weather changes we will adjust the timing.

I'm ready to start tapping in my mind, but I am still putting the finishing touches on my evaporator and waiting for the pan to arrive I just don't want to miss the start of the season

In mild suburban Boston I tapped my expansive sugarbush of three trees (5 taps) today (Feb. 7)!
I figure it's not too early - last year I tapped on Valentine's Day.
Last year, it was taps-out by March 15.

Let the harvest begin.....

I wish it would turn cold again. For shure it is going to!!! Every day my dad is after me to get tapped missing the best week ... It's to early!!! Man if I'm wrong I will never hear the end of it!!!!!!

No... Way too early, Last weekend of Feb usually here. My north Bush in New Salem wont run maybe till Mid March, I am not worried about a few warm days. we still have a foot of snow in spots, cold weather will return

No... I'm not tapping;)

Not yet. I'm still replacing a few drops and tommorrow hope to put up tubing in a few yards where I have to take it down. I will see what the outlook is later in the week and then might tap next week end.
