Yeah, sometimes I'll complain when I'm swamped with sap, but that is better, much better than no sap at all for sure. Yesterday was a good news/bad news deal at our place. Good News: Got to boil some sap! Bad news: Only 80 gallons of it. Good News: 3 percent aggregate sap right out of the tree! Bad news: Syrup with so much "stuff" to filter out it had to be filtered twice. Outdoor thermometer says 28 now, n grass sounded crunchy when the dogs were out so if it warms there should be some sap today. We'll see.

It probably reached 30 degrees here, and was a little frosty this morning. Supposed to warm to 55 - so hoping for sap!! Otherwise I think I will be waiting til next monday given the forecasted temps.

Same over here, crunchy grass and frozen puddles, hopefully it’s enough

Any sap reports yet? Temp says 53. Hoping last night was cold enough. We'll see if I have any sap after work today.

I just checked. Getting a little bit. Not dripping crazy but something is happening. I think I got about 1/5 gallon from one tap an hour ago.

Gonna check after work at 5. I wouldn't plan on anything fantastical but fingers crossed

Today I ended up with 30 gallons on 55 taps. Still dripping. That puts me over 400 gallons since the 14th. 8.5 gallons of syrup made.

Little frost here, but a lot more two miles DOWN the road. Looks like it really settled into the lower areas around here. Things are running but not super. Gonna collect in a bit and boil most of it off tonight.


Sooooooo, I pulled the trigger today............

Awesome! how much did that cost and what are the particulars of the unit? Who makes it and do they have more?

Yes, details please! It Doesn't Look Too Expensive!
