I noticed the buds on some of my trees already swelling. The runs the last few days have been very bad to non-existent. Are we already done, at least in the southern part of the state?

we'll find out.
I once heard someone say that when the peepers peep three days in a row, the season's over. I've heard them once.
there doesn't seem to be a way of reliably predicting or measuring when or how the end of the season arrives...I gots an idea, but then gots to find a statistician...
I still have trees that haven't even started to flow (low lying land), so I've got to think there's time.
man plans, nature scoffs.
I'd like to think we'll have at least one more good run.
It was too hot last week, although my sap kept running until this morning.
Might get close to freezing tonight which will be good.

I'm thinking this might be the last week and next weekend the last weekend. We'll see. Glad I tapped early!!
Do not worry young Jedi, The Fat Frog has not begun to sing!!! If it does you're Toast!!! Boil on, Full Steam ahead!! Good Luck.
Up and down temps for the next two weeks - I am in a low valley with little sun this time of year - the pond nearby is still ice covered so I am hoping for at least two more weeks.
I noticed some trees budding in Middlebury this morning but I believe the real end of the season is signaled when the moths arrive....no moths yet so 1 or 2 more runs.
I'm taking this to the bank! I heard the peepers 1x too.Quote:

Acuweather had predicted a regular March with warm days, freezing nights, but now many of those freezing nights are just above freezing.
I suppose it depends on the tree buds.. Many of mine are red and silver, which I also hear that they simply stop, rather than go buddy nasty. I have 3 to four more burn days of firewood, and not buying any if the season stops. 20 gallons sap yesterday, plus whatever today, plus (cross your fingers here)....
Had a good run the past few days.now it looks like after tommrow the weather will allot better for us
