Today was my best day yet. I'm north of you in northern genesee county where things are flat.
just south of you. it ran like crazy up until about 3:30. the clouds rolled in and it shut right down. was 62* today. beautiful outside
3 taps this year... 2 on tubing 1 bucket
When we left our bush at around 7 it was still flowing like in the video believe it or not. We will be might busy today!
I just watched that vid, I have never seen a tree drip that fast, that was crazy; I was always thought a drip a second was dripping real fast because it will fill my sap sacks; but hat was unreal

Monday was my best day yet as well. But I wasn't really impressed either. 53 gallons from 81 taps on gravity (buckets). I still have about 3 trees that have given almost no sap. Is this is as good as it gets? I thought I'd be swamped yesterday since Sunday night it froze and Monday was 50*F. Should I prepare for the floodgates to open, or is this it? I had planned on at least one busy week of feeling like I can't keep up, but now I'm not so sure that will happen. On the bright side my sugar content is averaging 2.7%.

I am in Allegany co. We got 300 gal from 240 taps. Last night when we shut down at midnight, our little pumps were pulling a steady stream from 5/16 tubing. Never seen anything like it. Also made the first lite syrup ever. We have always had med to dark syrup here. Weird year for sure.
