I have 8 taps at my house and 24 taps 4 miles down the road. Have been getting 5-10 gallons a day at my house and about the same down the road. I'm hoping the ones down the road start running soon, but the past 2 days I haven't really got much out of anything, not even worth dumping the buckets. Hopefully it picks up this weekend.
Oh don't you worry!:) I think we are in for a massive run with big big sap starting this weekend!!
BIG SAP WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE!
Same with me no sap the last two days. Not getting cold at night :/ I hope it will get cold tonight. I was getting 5+ gallons most days too.
I hope the sam goes for vermont i need alot of sap to fire up the new archQuote:

I think we're starting slowly, which is a good thing. We got only about 1/4 or less gallons per tap yesterday and today. We just tapped another hundred, so that might help. I don't mind if it warms up slowly, because that means we won't be out of the temperature range too soon. Last year was ridiculous.
Really did not get going here until Thursday when it seems everything opened up. Collected 125 gal. yesterday and first boil today:D
Sap flow for me with 40 taps in has been much slower than I would have expected expect ally with temps creeping in or slightly above he 40's. my trees are mostly on a north slope of a hill so I am sure that must have something to do with it, but the other variable that is different for me this year is the snow pack. I am hoping that is he reason nothing is really flowing me here in Bedford, too much snow! The anticipation is killing me as a second year sugarer.
I am running some tubing and some buckets and both are not really running yet. I had a small run middle of the moth so I am sure everything works, looks like I just need to find some patience.
Sap has been slow here this week. I think we need some sun to get those trees going! Sunshine is encouraging here this morning!
Slow here too in Weare. The weather has been a bit of tease. Looks like a sunny day in the morning, then clouds up. I'm hoping that as temperatures rise and we get sunny days that we'll get more flow.
At least it gives me a chance to put more taps in...
