Still too early, hang on. Average date 3/15, North of 47°
Tapped early last year. Not doing it this year.
We know it's early but it's hard to argue with the forecast weather for the next 10 days. Thinking we will be starting some test taps this weekend.
Tapped 3/16/17 - Got 3 good boils before I got tired and quit. Didn't get any of the late dark syrup that we treasure. Will monitor you guys and watch the forecast
Decided not to tap yet. Snow is still not pulling away from the Maples here in Munising. Weather looks good for maybe this week.
Still early with two to three feet of snow in the Sugarbush.
Will tap 3/5, got a couple warm days coming up. Last year up here was poor
Im going to use this sap tracker to record my sugar Bush collections, if you look at the maps it will allow us to see what’s going on in other sugar bushes.

Give it a try this year.
I'm waiting til March at least this year, tapped early last year and didn't get much to show for it. Waaaaayy too much snow out there, in the trees, on the trees, around the trees... at the very least I can start digging out my sugar shack and getting my stuff ready. Barely above freezing later in the week doesn't convince me yet.
Temps hit the mid forties here today. Snow is starting to pull away from the trees. Starting tapping some of the Sugars out in the open yesterday. Most holes were wet and dripping. Added some more today now have around 30 on bags most are dripping pretty good. Might start tapping some of the woods trees on 3/16 gravity tomorrow.
I'm way behind schedule this year so I have to hold out a bit before I can tap. I'm hoping AccuWeather is a bit more accurate this year. Hope to get up and running in a couple weeks.
