This will be my 4th year. The past 2 yrs I've tapped early (2nd wk in Jan) and had great seasons. Things did freeze up solid for about a week and my taps dried up a couple weeks early but I felt my ending result wouldn't have varied much if I waited. I also have a few hobbies that kick up in March/April so its nice to be finishing up the maple stuff before starting into something else. Best of Luck.
