I put in all my taps/buckets last weekend, and had a day or so of steady sap, then the tap holes dried up the past two days. Hopefully they will run again tomorrow into the weekend.

I haven't even fired up the evaporator yet, and this weekend might be the only time!

Anyone feeling its going to be a quick season????

Yea, I getting nervous too. Dry as a bone down here in Ansonia CT

Seems like these Noreaster's mess things up. Sure hope they start to flow when we get the freeze /thaw cycle back.

Mother nature should be kind to us this weekend....Not a fun start to the season here in Cheshire.
