The 10 day forecast is all above freezing temps - since I tap silvers that get buddy fast I try to catch the first good runs. The ground is still frozen hard here but what little snow we have is melting fast. Unless the forecasts change it might be a really early year here in SE MN. If we keep hitting mid 40's and the forecast stays warm I'll probably throw a tap into our big fenceline box elder in the next couple of days to see what it does. I just hope with our fall drought that we have enough ground moisture to get some decent sap.
What is everyone else thinking about this weather?
