Same here at about 28 but for just a few hours. Then back to the slow drip. Let us know Spud if you get a decent run once you see what today is about.

Having a great run today. Sap started running about 10am this morning. I already hit 1 gpt and it’s still running but slowing down. Sap testing at 1.3% still. Should freeze up by 2am or so. The next two days we should be froze up. Every season I have, the end 25% of my sap is 1% or even less. I am still at 1.3% and I’m still getting strong runs after freeze ups. Based on the ten day forecast, I should have two more strong runs this week and then no more freeze ups in sight. I’m hoping the weather man is a bit off to my advantage.

we got a hair over 1 gpt today also. tested 1.4. we'll have a few more boils and start the clean up process come the end of the weekend. we'll end up below our average but not too far off. it's been a fairly short but very busy season.
Over the last 3 days it has trickled in at .75gpt at 1% it might be the end for me. I’m hoping this hard freeze gives me one more good run.
Sun popped out and the sap started running at noon. It’s running 175 gph. Was not expecting sap today so this is a pleasant surprise. I will take every drop I can get.

I got 600 gallons of sap today before it froze up. Tomorrow will be colder but Thursday should be a gusher.

About 100 gallons of sap today but closing in on 5 inches of snow. It’s still coming down like a banshee
Looks like we got 6-7 inches of snow yesterday and last night. The sun came out today at about noon and once again the sap is running. I should get another 500-600 gallons today. Tomorrow the sap should start running very good again. I’m hoping we can get through the 4 days of no freeze and then run till the 20th. Only time will tell. Still testing 1.3%

So far 0 sap today. It might be over for me. Fingers still crossed but barely.
Sorry your sap stopped. I hope your trees spit out a bit more. My sap started running at 10am and now it coming in at 275gph. Sap is testing 1.2%. We may get a freeze tonight.
