My Littleton 600 taps started running late yesterday (at least good enough to check for leaks). Found a couple missed taps and repaired a broken tee or two, drained and cleaned the tank; closed the valve at 4PM and the sap collection has begun!
It may warm up enough today to get some sap, but I'm not holding my breath because it's still early in the season for me.
