It's finally running!
I only got 30 maybe 40 gallons off of 100+ taps. Emptied all buckets from 345 to 430. Tomorrow doesn't look to warm either. Fairly disheartening
My barrels that fill on a normal day only have two inches in them!

Sap is finally starting to run half way decent here at 4:00 pm. Of course by the time there is any in the tanks on top of the ice that there it will freeze up again. Doesn't look like I will be boiling this weekend. Sounds like a few days before another run.
