It looks like this weekend may the best time to do it. Has anyone in the area tapped or plan on tapping shortly?

tapped in monroe.
Should be good tomorrow and starting this weekend.
Between yesterday and today I tapped 120 on lines not a drip of sap anywhere.

It's coming! It's going to start this weekend and really get going next week. Weather wise I think it's going to be a good seasons (at least what I can see on 3/3)!Quote:

Tapped out with some of my students in Farmington today (8 total) only one was dripping slowly. Going to tap out mine at home on Sunday morning - hoping to get 75 in but with the deep snow not sure how many will go in.
Tapped in Redding (FF County) Sugar is Sweet
Tapped 14 trees today in Redding.
Zero drips from the Big Guys – and barely any from the smaller and medium sized trees.
Drank the sap from one and BOY what that good! Been too long! What a treat!
Getting through snow – not as bad as I expected.
Set up evaporator so we are ready to boil this weekend.
Looks like tomorrow is the day then. I'm going to need the snowshoes. As of right now the temps next week look perfect.
20 taps in Shelton and Monroe. Got some drips, but not enough to collect. Tomorrow in the 40s so should be the start I would think.
Question - What time of day is best to collect? My guess would be later in evening after sap stops but before bucket freezes. Last year I was only watching one tree, this year I am split locations, dont want to drive more than needed.
