Its gonna flow today!!

Wind in the South, sap in a Drouth, Wind in the East sap runs Least, Wind in the West sap runs Best and Wind in the North sap run poor. South wind today along with deep snow and well frozen ground, sap isn't going to run much. 4PM and we still have some snow on the branches of the trees. Like PerryW said, I don't think that there will be much sap until this next round of cold air passes by in about 7-10 days. By then maybe the snow will have shrunk some and the sap will just pour out of the trees.

That's wind from the north, the sap runs forth.

barely enough to scrub the lines clean If I got 35 gallons that would be a lot. But very happy things are working! its 35 here now and pretty much nothing coming into the releaser at this point. so I shut 'er down. not expecting anything to run really at least until Saturday then its gonna freeze up again!!!

Had some on buckets start to drip a little but pipeline nothing. Still frozen and will take sometime, next week shows in the 20,s so does not look like a go. Looked at long range and going into March before it looks like sugaring weather prior to that off and on. I hope its not going to be a fast warm up and done. But like someone said That's sugaring
