Hi All,
Glad to see that everyone's coming out of hibernation.
Last year we tapped on March 8 (near Morton, Ontario) and I used snowshoes to get to the trees. I went to our shack last Sunday to check things out and we have far less snow so far this year. It got up to +7C there.
I've attached a couple of photos of our shack taken last weekend for those who might be interested, and shot of our interior set-up taken during a boil last year. This was a big departure from sugaring outside in the cold with my barrel evaporator!
Good luck to everyone this season.
Cheers,
Jon

I tapped a couple of trees on the west side of my field, buckets were over half full this afternoon so it'll give us some drinking sap anyways.
