Argohauler - could wind be a factor? I noticed a few days ago when things should've been running, I got pretty much nothing - and that day was sunny & windy.

My taps started dripping late Tuesday afternoon. Thought for sure that I'd wake up to full buckets on Wednesday morning, since it didn't go below freezing.
At 7am this morning with temps at approx 6C, the trees were still sleeping. Quite depressing.
By 10am it was 10C, with a warm breeze. Some taps started a slow drip. Things finally picked up at about noon. And it hasn't stopped. We've already collected 3 times since 2:30pm. Last collection was at 9pm in the dark. Me carrying the lantern, and my husband carrying the 5 gallon buckets. At 12:30am some of my buckets are already half full again.
My 55 gallon drum is almost full. I might have a storage issue tomorrow. It'll be an extra early start to boiling tomorrow to keep up.
I haven't tallied up my total collection today, but it's easily my best ever day. Still making light syrup.
