About 16 gallons collected off 50 taps today. The next few days look promising. Not enough to boil yet, I want a big batch this time.

I got about 25 gallons of sap between yesterday and today. Disappointing, really, but we haven't been below freezing for 3 days now so I guess its to be expected.
Cheers,

I'm at about 65 gallons for the last two days. Prob up to 180 taps
We didn't collect Saturday, but collected 45 gallons Sunday at ~10am that we boiled off, then another 40 gallons at the end of the day that's sitting in the tank now. I expect today will be the first "good" day for us. It was warm yesterday, a couple of degrees below overnight, and forecasted to be 10 or so today. With 150 trees, I should be getting >75 gals on a good day. I haven't seen that yet this year.
If we do have a good day today, I'll need to think about taking tomorrow or Wednesday off work to boil and catch up. Shucks :D
About 10 minutes ago the trees started to drip again - and pretty quickly. I can't wait to see what today's weather brings. Hopefully the trees that are still dry will wake up with +12C.
Think I need to mount a wireless camera on my collection tank so I can check status on my phone!
Ho Boy....I am going to be busy...Running like there is no tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

It's running gang-busters out there everyone. Fine-tuning my boiling set-up while I listen to the drip drip drip. :)
I saw all my trees starting to go this morning, and my little workhorse #7 has never really stopped! Stuck in K'ville at the moment waiting for car to get fixed, then have to scamper home to check trees and collect sap if needed before racing off to Ottawa for dental appointment. Please let there be a lot of sap!!! :-)
Looks like it might finally let loose. Our 1400 tap "New Bush" is dumping every 2.5 minutes and will likely speed up as the day goes on.
