BIGSAP WARNING for south central PA. I would be really thinking about tapping in this weekend if I were you.
Just finished hanging the rest of my buckets and the sap is aready running at 11:30am this morning!!
If it keeps running the way it is right now I may be boiling this evening.
Nice job Dennis! CODE RED!!!!! CODE RED!!! BIGSAP!!!!! BIGSAP!!!!! This is the highest of Bigsap alerts. Southern regions of the maple sugaring areas could experiance heavy runs do to these warming temps. Be on the ready. Get those tanks clean. Get that pump running. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you doing still in the house?
Why aren't you in the woods?
Russ Lampron here and I am honored to sitting at the comand center of the BIGSAP ALERT SYSTEM where weather conditions are constantly monitored and BIGSAP ALERTS are posted. Boiling sodas and the Captain have been flowing as final preparations for the first boil of the season have been under way. It is getting close now and the list is getting smaller. Keep an eye on your computer screens to be up to date and prepared for the BIGSAP!
You listen Dave Y and you listen good becouse Im only going to tell you this twice. This is a serious operation and constant monitoring of weather is no lie. I even check for changes when I get up to pee in the night. We KNOW whats goin on here. Ive got some serious individuals on this at every moment. Were a little slow in the morning but were hell on fire once we get goin, could be the KILLIANS. Well keep you guys posted but we are thinking BIGSAP is coming. Zar

BIGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! SAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!- For the love of God people tap every freakin tree you can get your hands on BIGSAP next week! Buckets, natural vacuum, unnatural vacuum at least try to make it look like you WANNNNNNNN IT! Im going to try to have my sugar house all streamlinedby the end of the week and then Im going after more taps once I think I can actually process this stuff. Yesterday changed out the double bernard in the sugar house with a big belly releaser. Really neat to watch. Kind of like looking in fish tank.
