1 gall/tap on 3/16 between yesterday afternoon and this morn. That was a surprise. Buckets finally filling also. Unexpected boiling day in Tompkins

Got all my buckets hung this weekend-99 total. I may have to throw 1 more out to make an even 100.
Southerly trees were running pretty good yesterday while tapping. My northerly trees are still froze up.
Got 103 buckets hung Saturday and collected 125 gallons off them last night. They were still running good at 6:00 pm.
103 buckets hung today. Taps in Southerly face of trees were dripping good.
Collected 220 gallons off 106 buckets last night 2/27 that were tapped Sunday 2/25.
Amazing first week. 545 gallons collected, 480gallons processed and 9 gallons finished syrup.
Nice reset with 2 nights hitting 24F. Avg. 1.75 gallons per tap. Hopefully my trees can make it through the weekend as next weeks looks cold again.
Got down to 25Flat night. Peeked in the buckets after work tonight and looks they they just started to drip again. Looks like they made it through the warm weekend. Hope to get 3 or more runs this week into the weekend.
Waiting to for a thaw to see what kind of runs are left. Taps were wet Tuesday and Wednesday but to cold to run. I have about a dozen trees in warmer areas that are all done for the year. Looks like the runs are going to drag into next week for me.
Trees finally thawed out. Got just over 3/4 gallon per tap on the tapholes on my trees that didn't dry up last week. The holes healed and closed off on 20 of my 106 buckets. Sap was crystal clear and still running last night. Going to collect again tonight and boil tomorrow afternoon when my nieces get into town for Easter.
Last boil yesterday. Season totals- 1115 gallons collected, 1005 gallons processed, 22-1/2 gallons syrup. Warm spell 2 weeks ago really hurt my sap runs this past week.
