I tapped one tree today, nothing coming, but it was not freezing last night. Week ahead is freezing nights and 30's days. If this one runs, I will start tapping the others.
I am not ready to boil yet but close. I got more neighbors enlisted, but need to buy more taps and buckets.

Freezing temps, then warm yesterday, but no sap in the bucket. Froze again last night, through tomorrow. Will check again.

I'm located in Shelton within 2 days I've collected 8 gallons of sap

Sam from Shelton convinced me to tap early! set 15 taps today (Woodbridge, CT)...have about 25-30 more to do (Southbury)...going to wait a bit on those for now. First year...got the bug BAD! Got my Brother-in-Law helping me collect and boil...can't wait to get started.

I got about two gallons sap from the three taps this first week, so a start anyway. Good cold weather this week, so expect another flow window maybe next week, as it will stay in the 30's. Only things holding me back was concern that the tap wound would heal before the season is over, and that I am not quite ready to boil in my shack.
Coming quick though. Last year, tapped in mid Feb, but we went through a month long cold snap. Crazy flow came late March.

Braved the storm and got 30 taps in. Thanks again to Sam, good to have others close too.

We shall see what flow we get.... now there is snow to pile around the barrels for storage.

yea, Sam is Great!! i'm tapping at least 10-12 more tomorrow and found a bank owned empty home, with some trees...going to try my luck and hit them! hahahahaahhaaha

Wow didn't think most banks would think outside the box enough to allow that, my luck they would have so many insurance policies etc that by the time the paperwork was done the season would be over lol! I started tapping today while the weather was nice, hope by the end of next weekend to be all tapped in but time will tell, looks like ok weather coming!

Good idea about that bank owned home.
I have 47 taps in as of yesterday, and just collected around 30 gallons. some 5 gallon pails were to the brim, and one I spilled half:( Expect more the next two days, so Saturday or Sunday will be first boil. Early next week will be near 50 with lows above freezing for a few days, so want to boil it before then.
