Hand tapper, not sure how far south you are in NH, we have a frost depth in the ground in central NH that we have not seen in a long time. I'm thinking this will probably keep the sap output slower then typical and the trees will be much slower to bud. Also, the long range forecast is calling for the same pattern through mid April. I've never made the bulk of my syrup in April but this may be the year I do!
