My trees near the road dripped a little today, but the tree in the woods are frozen solid. Good luck tomorrow. Lee

Woke up to 50F weather. Should have a good run today :)
What time did u mosey on out of bed at ittitz? Lol Pretty cold at 5am its going to take things a bit to get going I've got nothing running yet. I saw a guys sap bags yesterday with a half gallon ish in each and I got nothing...
Tapped 10 trees Thursday night and didn't have much sap at all after yesterday. Tapped 20 last night...hoping for a good run today so we can boil tomorrow, otherwise waiting getting everything set up tomorrow and won't be able to boil until next Sunday.

40 taps got me a little less than 5 gallons so far today and the flow has nearly stopped as the clouds have thickened and the temp has dropped back to 40-ish. I had expected much better results today. Next potential run looks like maybe Tuesday, then another storm (northeaster??) on Thursday. Bleaugh. It's "The Winter That Would Not Die!"
+17 degrees this morning @ 6:00 AM! Thought it would be a good run today, but only got about 40-50 gallons!
Finally got some sap for me this weekend but no flood, got about 5 gal yesterday and another 8 gal today. Looks like tues will be a good run, then more snow great :( planing to boil next weekend, hopefully my sap won't spoil waiting.
Sap drizzled a little here Saturday and even less Sunday. Took too long for it to thaw out each day to amount to much. If the forecast is "right" (HAW,HAW), then maybe a great day Tuesday. Of course, they have to ruin it with more snow on Wed and cold Thur. Pray for the best.
