The sap is flowing really well now. Got nearly 40 gallons over the last couple of days and as of noon all trees are dripping with most of them turned on full bore! Kinda surprising really didn't expect it....

I guess I am behind and don't have a single tree tapped! Wondering if anyone in the Milaca area or central Mn region is seeing any sort of run?
Haven't tried. Snow too deep. At this point I'm resigned to wait until the weekend of the 18th to tap. That following week looks perfecto.Quote:

This is very interesting to me...ChaskaSap. Do you know what your high/low temps were? Makes me think I should have tapped!
Just north of Garrison - we are in a different hemisphere than southern Minnesota - lol. But sometimes it seems like it. I have not set any taps and guessing AT LEAST another 5 days.Quote:

More snow Thursday? **sigh**
I tapped 50 trees today in the snow. Odd thing was that even though it only got to 30 degrees some of the holes were saturated before I got the tap in after I drilled. Never expected that at that temp. Maybe a run late in the week.
We had some pretty cold temps here in Rochester for the past few days 33 and 32 respectively. Both days this app ran and got about a half gallon each.
