We'll thought I would through my thread on the list I read all you guys updates each day As for me feels like I'm stuck in the middle just big enough to need hundreds of gallons of sap to get started wash the ro and have some to boil and than rinse membrane. With this cold I'm to far north to get going at all just not the sap to start . I'm sure I'm not alone in this . If the weather change doesn't happen soon I'm taking up beer making . Good luck to all
Not sure where you are in NH, but here in Littleton area, I normally make half my syrup April. Some years, nearly all of it was in April.
Perry I am in the very northern end of Thornton north of some parts of Woodstock. Hope you are right about April, we should be ok if it is a slow warm up.
no big sap run today It needs a few days of 40+ to open up I think.
Hopefully that's what will happen..... a slow warm up when it gets this late in the season. It wasn't to many years ago, (maybe 6 -7) that I was making syrup April 22nd and then had to leave for a wedding in Vegas. I think others around here went another 4 days so the last week of April isn't out of the question. Like you say, so long as it's a sloooooow warm up.Quote:

This time last year we were busy, hope like others have said its a slow thaw and not bang over. Lot of snow lot of cold weather and tonight -10 here. Ice in holding tanks from pipeline and buckets also ice.
Just watched the weather for next week and wished I hadn't .Arctic cold back on its way
We sit across from Colebrook. Had a good run this afternoon. Will be boiling again tomorrow and should be getting some more sap in during the day. We look good next four days then the Artic cold is back (hopefully for the last time). We have 4-5 feet of snow in the sugarbush.
Woke this am to find one foot of new snow outside so much for the 3-5 still waiting for my first boil of the season can't believe it .oh happy spring everyone good luck to all
