Ran heavy for three days straight here in Gansevoort area, collected everything last night in anticipation of rain and will start running a small batch through the RO today to make some early season golden/delicate.

I finally got the bulk of my taps in yesterday and today. I have 40 yard taps to put in in the morning and will turn the vacuum on. I'm a little late but didnt make syrup till 3/11 last year so we will see what happens.
Big day yesterday, collected 130 gallons and boiled a little more than half of it. Have roughly 7 gallons in the finishing tank ready for bottling. Puts me way ahead of last year and a little ahead of 2018
Been at work all day wondering how it's running.
Collected about 100 gallons Monday-Wednesday, boiled about 40 yesterday morning, and collected 40 more. Looking to have a full day boil tomorrow, hopefully get through a bunch. We got a lot of light syrup so far, yesterday's just starting to get darker...
Taps are dripping pretty good today, was hoping the sun would stay out though. Looking at future temperatures, could be a relatively short season?
Crazy couple of days! Trees were really flowing all weekend and even on Monday. Bottled 7 gallons on Sunday, still getting amber. Not sure what weather is going to bring, could be a short season but you never know
What's everyone think, is this weekend the last run of the season? Will the trees even run after the very warm temperatures recently?
Sure looks like the end after this weekend. I am pretty far below what I made last year. Only made 3 batches this year, but have some sap for a smaller fourth right now. 3.5 gallons in the bank so far.

I'll end the season with around 15 gallons, maybe a little more depending on this weekend
