    Default Anyone else excited about the forecast?

    It looks like we'll have a freeze every night for the next week and most days will be warm enough for sap to run. Maybe not quite as busy a week as last, but still plenty of sap. And the cooler temps should stretch the season out a little. Perfect.

    It looks like a pretty good forecast this week. I think we'll have sap coming in all week, unless it does something different from the forecast.
