What do you think, will we get 1 more run tomorrow or not?
Maybe....plenty of sun and warm.....hopefully the wind will not be too much of a factor!
We'll get something bit if it warms up too fast we won't get much in the buckets. Vacuum should do good.
I was sure hoping for a good freeze last night. 32 degrees when I went to bed last night, but only dropped to 30 by dawn. That's it for us I think.
my house thermometer got down to 22 deg and it is usually a warm spot. I'm hoping big-sap today.
I still think I can weather the warm weather and still make some grade b after it cools back down on tuesday. This woods is still full of snow and the ice is still think on the ponds. Taps have only been in 2 weeks.
Had 26 this morning on the trucks thermometer, I am about 1.5 miles from Bascoms. I guess we shall see what Mother gives us!
22 this morning here hoping for a run today
Ran a bit over here today. I was able to collect enough to top off my storage to boil down for one last batch on Saturday! The trees that are still flowing are slow, but it's not buddy yet.
Best run of the year here today, a tad bit cloudy but that's ok. It was still running when I came in about an hour ago.
Same here, today was the best run of the season for me, with good clear sap. Todays sap JUST put me over the dreadful 2012 season, and with fewer taps. After today I'm thinking that I'm most likely done, but it's fun to go out with a great day.
Good run in the south-central today and should keep going overnight. If it starts slowing down tomorrow, I think I will boil all sap down from my flue pan tomorrow so it doesn't spoil waiting for the dark run next week. Are any of you pulling taps this week or waiting for the freeze next week?
not liking the highs of 60's and 70's predicted through next tuesday. Only halfway through the season up here in the Littleton area.
Ran a bit more today on 2nd day of thaw. Today's syrup was dark and tasty -- first dark draw for me this year. Afternoon's sap is cloudy but tastes and smells fine, so I'm planning to throw it into the flow and boil the whole pan down tomorrow.
