Crazy. We have 2 gallons of the liquid gold so far and it is April 6. It looks like a huge warm up with rain here and I think the buds will be presenting themselves ....could be a very short...

Wow: It has been a tough year so far. We still have 3 feet of snow in our south facing fields. Have tapped 90+ trees and only have 2 gallons of the liquid gold so far. I have a bad feeling it is...

I hear you! Good luck this week and next as it DOES look good. Nice temps! May you gain an abundance of liquid gold. Keep me posted how you end up.

All done. I pulled the taps and made over 8 gLlons of syrup. Family trip and other responsibilities came up as I did not think this season would drag out this much. Good sap still, but just need to...

Same here with that snowpack. Raining hard here and snow (5-10) for the next few days. I may pull taps this weekend as it looks to be 58 on Sunday. The buds are going to burst here soon. We still...

Great day today! 150 gallons of sap and it is still flowing. Looks like a good week coming.

Good luck to you in the Keeweenaw! I may go out to the camp tonight to get ready for the run that should happen tomorrow. The next 5 days look good. We may be out of our slump!

Well, collected 50 gallons and boiled it off. We still need to finish, but the whole thing went south with the latest ice storm and a TON of cancellations locally. Nothing running here.

Got up this morning to find a fresh coating of snow had arrived overnight. It has been tough trying to catch a break even though it is not all bad as I am banking on it warming up substantially...

Well, not much happening. We have 90+tapped and just a dribble. We will see come Sunday. Better luck to everyone else. It does not look good for this area.

Tapped 90+ trees today. Temp was only 17 above, but next week is ideal with temps in the high 30's to low 40's during the day and 10 to 20 degrees overnight. Now I wait. Still 30 inches of snow in...

Next week's temps look ideal for our area. Tapping this Saturday!

I am going to tap my trees next Saturday. We had a rainstorm with thunder last night followed up immediately with 5 inches of new snow. There is a layer of .5 inchs of ice everywhere. I have a...

It is what it is. We can't rush Mother Nature.........no matter how much we would like to "will" it. Good luck!

Well, it warmed up for two days and now it looks like rain snow mix all weekend with no temps above 30 degrees. Getting frustrated as the weather is not cooperating. We usually tap this weekend.

Wow crazy temps here with-35. Was going to get equipment ready this weekend and not go ice fishing, but doesn't look good. I planned to tap the first weekend of March, but may be delayed. We will...

Crazy amount of Sap this week and weekend. I am sitting on 150 and boiled 189 this weekend. I am getting tired, but the liquid gold sure is good. I will finish this week. I am pulling my taps...

Has anyone had any luck? I boiled down 50+ gallons this weekend and only collected 28 additional gallons. It is slow.

44 degrees here today. I am getting ready to tap! This weekend looks like the time.

I switched over to bags two years ago and upped the taps to 104. It is a lot easier and cleaner for working with the sap. Sounds like you are getting ready PDiamond!

I fell off the posting last year ............ sorry everyone! We ended up with 13 gallons of syrup last year and I am anxious to get the process started again this year. The weather has been very...

Cleaning up tomorrow night. Can't wait to see how much sap we get!

I believe this will be a great week also. Good luck Nasion, it sounds like you got some grade "A" syrup. After this, the smelt should be close to running with Cohos hanging around off shore.

Not the best for most, but our best clean up ever. Since Sunday, we have collected 125 gallons and will boil our fist time this season. Good Times!

We tapped 91 trees in the western end of the U.P. And the sap was flowing yesterday. Good luck, but I know you get a little more snow up in the copper country.
