That is annoying when others in your area get more sap than you. I wonder how Kyle is doing down near Smiths Falls, he's only 40km away but could be getting tons more sap as he's further south than me. On the other hand, people more north of me by the same approximate distance, could be getting very little as they did in 2014. Microclimates, lay of the land etc etc...the only other bush I can compare accurate notes with is 5min drive away.
Busy finishing off yesterday's sap, checked the trees in my jammies and wellies this morning and temp outside already 7 degrees or more and everyone's got sap. May be making another batch of syrup tonight!
