Where in Rockland County are you. Im a few counties north of you ...i put a test tap in beautiful weather and the trees running well but i know that here the temp can fluctuate like crazy. I won't think of putting mine in til early feb. However i have tapped this early before. Good Luck and hope the weather holds for you!

Don't worry about being too early. If you taps dry up by March 1st, find another 15 to 20 trees and pull the dry taps and put them in new trees.

had good sap for last two days, and the weather looks to be good for a while. guess its an early start this year (in the past i have tapped around feb 1). good luck to everyone for a good season.

maplepancakeman i am in airmont, i get up near you sometimes for work i wish i lived a little further north where my neighbors could be a little further away and don't call the fire department when i fire up the evaporator :mad:

Yeah.. i don't have too many neighbors but i do live right off the parkway and i had someone call the fire department on me because they thought i was onfire. Which at my parents house at 330 in the morning they came rushing up the driveway. Only to chat with me for about 30 mintues before leaving haha.

yeah the fire department gets a kick out of me and likes to check out my operation and chat. but it does get annoying because the neighbors usually call half a dozen times per season
