    Default starting to get concerned

    Yes, there dosen't appear to be much, if any, real sap weather in the 15 day outlook. Traditionally, it's still not late for starting in my area. But by 10-15 days from now it will be. I'm starting to feel that my instict that this was going to be a good season might be wrong. If it dosen't get going until very late March things could be over real quick if the weather suddenly turns to 60-70 degree weather in early April.

    My wife and I only have eight taps in so far this year. I spent all day looking out the window wondering how much was starting to run. It was a little disappointing to finally get home and find nothing. It was great exercise to go for a walk in all this snow.

    We found our favorite tapping tree had not been marked and was logged off this winter. I hope the rest of the trees catch up in production.

    Default Not much in southern wisconsin

    I tapped 10 on the 10th, got maybe a cup in each the next day. Tapped about 20 more on the 13th and another 20 on the 14th. Only got about 30 gallons of sap. While we still have a couple inches of snow in the bush, the weather has been in the 40's so I was sure thinking I'd get a little more. Next week's weather looks like rain and snow
