Has anyone had much sap Mon and Tues? I thought the weather was set for a good one here in central CT, but I checked my barrels and had only a few gallons in them? No signs of it leaking anywhere either. After what I saw this past weekend I thought I was going to have a flood on my hands this week!
We are in Northern Vermont with 650 taps. (On Buckets and a 4 X 12 Wood fired Waterloo.) We have made 36 gallons in the last 3 days. :)
Monday and Tuesday were great. Today not a drop since it never froze last night. I had to boil what I had and hope for a freeze thursday night and then reset the trees here.
That's interesting Ken, your that much further north than here and the temp here this morning was 24. Are you near a river valley? When I went up to my sugar bush this morning around 10, things had started to thaw, so I started the vacuum. The last two days the taps here have run a gallon or more per tap.
got about a gallon a tap yesterday. Don't know, yet today.
Got 14 gallons from 35 taps Tues, and 18 on Monday. No idea what today will bring, not home yet.
Not much for most of you big guys, but with the half pint I can get a small boil going and at least get it started.
i picked up 70 gal on mon. and i have maybe another 100 in the tanks from yesterday and today, i hope it will pick up this weekend suppose to be in the 20's at night and 40-50 in the day. i made a little over 40 gal now but i want more. my taps have been in alittle over 3 weeks now.
Really running here - Picked up 70+ gal on both Sat & Sun, 60+ on Mon & Tue, and 56 tonight. No frost tonight for the first time in awhile, tomorrow morning I'll pick up again & add to the 56 & boil. A few of my trees have slowed up a lot, but a few others that hadn't done much really took off since Sat. Frost comes back Thursday night........
I am in a unique place. it's allways a bit warmer here then a couple miles down the road. stayed at 42 degrees all night and was 48 by 7 so I got a few dribbles. 50% of my trees haven't started yet even. I am looking foreward to friday.
3/4 of gallon a tap since Sunday. 150 gallons from 160 taps today. Can't wait for a 2 gallon a tap day.
