    For the opposite reasons too :P in 12 it was in the 60ies and 70ies this time of year. That's the year I rotted the sap in the buckets because it was too hot and I couldn't check them.

    Don't feel bad, we haven't had a run yet at all! It's looking like our first sap will be maybe the 28th or 29th, unless they change the forecast again!

    You all need to chill, I'm with Steve here. Yes it's cold but with the snow pack in all this is looking good here.
