Weather forecast looks pretty good for this week. I do buckets, usually 30-50. Is now a good time or should I wait a bit longer?

I just tapped yesterday, was going to wait a bit longer due to the cloudy week ahead, but this is the latest i've ever tapped.
Wondering the same here in Merrimack. The forecast is looking like warm days and cool nights this coming week. For the last three years, I have tapped the last week of February or the first week of March.
Go for it! I'm half tapped in, and going all-in this weekend. Good luck.
I finished mine in thursday, felt good to get them all in
Its flowing good. Im 2/3 tapped in. Finish up tomorrow.
I may start tomorrow but no rush for me.
Anybody check sugar content yet?
My vacuum taps have been in for 2 weeks. I'm going to tap my buckets in 2 weeks.
I waited thru the first few warm spells this year but after looking at the forecast and considering the sun angle / time of year, I went for it and tapped in today. Every tree I tapped was gushing as the drill pulled out, and ran strong all day - even the 3 or 4 reds I tapped. Looks like first boil will be tomorrow aftn. And so it begins... :D
i got about 10 gallons of 2% according to the sap hydrometer todayQuote:
