Dave Y,
I agree still seems a little early, Boys if I am i my shorts by tomorrow afternoon we will consider tapping soon.:) I really don't think it will happen and the trees will need a several days to thaw. Gary B about two miles north has tapped and I will watch to see how he is doing over the next few days.
Andy 800+ taps Wow! Hope you get a run! You are a lot farther south than us. We have a good base of snow pack like, 20 + inches!
One group of trees still has 8 feet of plowed snow around them!
Serious getting "ready time" is upon us. Syrup season is almost here.

Im smelling $$$. Theron
Well guy's, it is time. Will be tapping in a couple hours. Test tap had a very slow drip at 33 deg. yesterday when I came home. Woke up today and it was already 35 deg. All the trees in the woods have a melt ring in the snow around them. Trunks must be thawing out. I think BIGSAP this coming week. If your looking for something to do some evening, come watch the new rig make syrup::)
I dont care what the calender says,,,If I saw a melt ring around my trees I would be tapping!!!
Parker,
No melt ring up this far is there!!
Got to get above freezing first!!
Dave
And I did. 68 taps. It's 50 in the shade right now and it's mostly sunny! Almost all hole ran some sap. Even the north facing ones. It is better than I expected! Will be jumping to a PA tapping thread. I wish everyone the best of luck!
well im completly tapped. pretty exuasting work hanging 100 or so buckets. saps flowing good here all the buckets are running and should be boiling by the end of the week. hope everyone has a good season. nate
chris keep me posted on them taps
got almost all tubing up today got big tank at sugar house set and hooked up now watch weather and see what happens looks like now it will cool down next week
We put in 15 taps today in Sussex County, NJ. One ran immediately, but the others weren't looking to wet. 50 tomorrow and 40 or so all week, so I'm hoping to see the beginning of the run here. We have another 100 taps and buvkets, but we'll wait to see how the weather goes.
