Who is tapped in NH?????

I was driving in Hopkinton (New Hampshire) today and saw a bunch of road side buckets. Made me wonder if its actually running up this way yet? I have been planning on waiting a few weeks?

i havent taped yet. where were the buckets? i havent seen any...and i live here. LOL

spencer

when I was headed to work today I think I was you out running tubing spencer? I am tapping some at my old bosses house so I was on Gage Hill road, and thats where I saw 25 or 30 buckets.

I started in Newmarket today. 15 taps in a gravity line to a 55 gallon drum (firt time effort) and 6 in buckets. The flow was good. Can't provide numbers until tomorrow or Monday. Putting another 20 into buckets tomorrow. It's the earliest that I tapped in 7 years. Weathers been too freaky to wait after I put more money into containers and spouts for the lines, pans, and vamped up the homemade evaporator, ect. I'm small time so every drop counts. It's like watching a bunch of kids on the side of a pool this year, waiting to see who "jumps in first"...

I was in manchester yesterday and it was spring like temps back home this morning it is 0 OUTSIDE. Sap is not going to run here for another three weeks. We will get the ocassional warm day but not enough to bother with.

Sugarmaker in Lancaster area started tapping last week but he has 10,000 taps to get in. I'm an hour north and I'm tapping the week of 21st of Feb but we normally don't see any production until mid-March.

I'm holding off until next saturday

I'm tapping half mine today. The Weather Channel says highs for the next 4 or 5 days in the 40's and upper 30's, so I'm going to go for it.

this weather is making me pull my hair out. i'm holding out till next weekend most likely or put some in during the week. Depends on how bad i get the itch to tap.

I am planning to tap next weekend if the extended forecast looks favorable. It was only 8 degrees here this morning and even if it does get warm enough to run today it won't run very long. There are a lot of nights with temps in the teens in the 10 day forecast so I don't think I will be missing out on much next week.
