I am in Geneseo. The sap ran yesterday most of the day. Had the tank down to about 20 gallons and it never moved all day. Just evaporating at the same rate it was filling. Both 3/8 inch lines going...

Tapped all day Sunday and it was running while I was going along. Let a couple gallons run on the ground while I was working my way down the hill. Had 60 gallons in the tank Monday night when I got...

Boiled what I had in the tank last night so it would not spoil. Going to hold till next warm up as well here in Geneseo. Hopefully it will still be OK. No buds puffing out on our eastern facing hill...

Here we go! Rochester area we had a little sap running yesterday just to clear out the lines. Running into the tank now so maybe boiling Wednesday night if we get the warm up that is forecast for...

Looking good for this weekend. I had a good run last Tuesday with about 100 gal from 70 taps. Just a drizzle over the weekend but next weekend looks promising. Maybe even a bit on Tuesday. Just a...

Checked before work and tank had about one gallon per tap in it. Going to sweeten those pans tonight! I lost out on the early runs last year with this weather but not going to happen this year! :)

West lake rd on Conesus lake they are running like crazy right now. We will see for how long.

I have no crystal ball or the lottery would be mine by now. I did find this very informative study done in Vermont. http://www.uvm.edu/~pmrc/tapping.pdf

Not a bad year! Just pressure washing the pans now. Tubing cleaned and all utensils time to go camping!
The rocket stove worked excellent but it required constant feeding. That system reduced my...

Hey Back Yard,

Were you on the local news a couple days back?

I saw someone from Victor getting interviewed.

So funny, not the warmest day we have had but the best for sap. East side of the hill so it stays cooler anyhow but may be able to start the evap tomorrow night. Time will tell!

In Geneseo tapping the eastern facing slope of the hill. all wooded 60 taps gave me about 10 gallons into the tank yesterday. That was the first to make it down the hill this year. Hoping for a...

WOW! I was waist deep off the deer path but just over the knees if I could follow a path. The snow by you looks like a heart attack waiting to happen. Be careful!

We'll it was actually above freezing here in Conesus for a whole 4 hours today. I made my way up the hill using the deer paths where possible. What a great workout, I dragged two 5 gal buckets along...

I have a 300 gallon tank that is full if you want more sap. I am in Geneseo. Bring buckets, I don't have the processing capability required. Just starting to turn cloudy, perfect now but it will go...

Everything stopped here in the finger lakes. Thought maybe today with some above freezing temps but nothing to write home about. Changed one of the lines since it wasn't doing anything anyhow....

Better than expected from 30 trees on about 1200 feet of 5/16. Running like it had a pump on it when I got home. Yeah!

Started today. About a foot of snow on the ground so it was a fight to get up the hill but I have a trail to the top now. Tap a couple dozen more tomorrow God willing.
