Looks great wobble top! what did you boil to temp wise if you don't mind me asking?

I went to 219. I use the maple sap app to let me know how high I should go.

• 60 taps Feb. 25
• 200 gallons sap Mar. 1
• sugar content very low

I've gotten around 800L so far wish there was more im tapping new trees this year that seem to give less sap but im avg 3% with some just over 4%. So maybe less sap night sugar content. 18L finished gotta empty and clean my pan tomorrow.

Too hot, now too cold. No happy medium. No sun either. You think you'll get a good day coming up, then they change the forecast. Maybe Thursday it will run decently, but it will likely turn colder. Good weather for making ice as it just dribbles. Yesterday most taps were frozen.

However it's good weather for getting next year's syrup firewood ready. It's the 2nd year for the ash borer in our area. Cutting infected trees made noticeable by the woodpeckers. Trouble is I have a lot where there's sap lines, unsafe ice in swamps, or the risk of damaging tapped maples in my way.

However it's good weather for making next year's syrup firewood. It's the 3rd year for the ash borer in our area. I'm cutting the infected trees made noticeable by the woodpeckers, but there's a lot that I can't cut because of sap lines, unsafe ice in the swamps, or the risk of damaging tapped maples.

Weather has been exactly the same for me. Day nine of no sap and don't expect to see any start until the weekend - providing that it's sunny. Lot's of time to clean equipment this year. I've only boiled twice.

ALL of the ashes are dead around here.

Well it just gets better and better. The warmer forecast has evaporated and the good ole weatherman says we'll get minus highs now. No sap for the kids to gather while they're on March break.

Who wants to bet that when this breaks, it will go hot and stay hot?

yep thats my thoughts as well.
