yes, same here in rhode island. was hoping for a couple more weeks but it is not looking promising. a have made 3/4 of what i did last season and will be happy with that if this is the end.
Making me shake my head in frustration.....it is what it is though!

Not looking good but talked to someone today that said its going to go all the way into the end of April, He had sugared for a lot and I mean a lot of years, but who knows, Thinking of turning the sugar house into a Hooters Bar and Grill

Looks poor at best, after the next 4 days. However, I got my most sap all season yesterday and today. But it only totaled 600 gal for the 2 days combined. It is running now (or was 1 hr ago as I refueled the vacuum pumps). My forecast shows the next 4 nights going just to between 26 and 30 and then it shows overnights in 35+ area. However, I still have lots of snow and the ground is frozen, that should help the trees hold longer before budding.
Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
