The long term forecast does look pretty good but the nights not dropping below freezing is not a good sign. Is there a good equation for removal of the taps and clean up? Thanks and have a good week. Kevin

Weather looks promising for the end of the week. I'm always looking at the 10 day forecast.
Keep an eye on the 10 day, everyday. The weathermen change the forecast like crazy!
Several factors could be noted;
You run out of motivation,
You run out of wood
The sap turns buddy
You run out of time.
Weather warms and sap stops flowing.
you have met your goal for the year?
If we see a week of 70 degree temps in March we are usually done.
I'm sure there are several others?

Until our wives are fed up with it.
Forgot that one!:)

I'll boil this coming weekend and then the weekend after that and probably call it quits. Should have between 15 and 20 gallons of syrup by then...That's enough for me!
Every year is different last year I tapped out on March 8th and this year we may be all done with our season goal of 20 gallons by then. Even the wife can't complain about a 3 week season.

LMAO! I hear ya brother!
thanks for the responses. I am going to switch from a 55 gallon drum evaporator to a 275 gallon drum evaporator for next wear with a home made sugar shack. Once I can evaporate more GPH then I will be more productive and with more bang for my buck..It always is hard to pull the taps at the end of the season but I am getting tired!
