    Still a little early for the U.P. but the forecast looks like sapping weather in about a week. Tapped March 6 last year here in Munising. We're getting close.

    We plan on tapping the first week of March.

    I may have to take back my last post. Starting on Friday it looks like there may be a good full week of weather coming.

    Almost started this week, did tap one tree in the yard and was running good. Instead added another 3/16 line with 35 tapes, so it will wait till the next warm up. Need to get enough for a least 17 gallons, that is what we made last year,and only 3 quarts left. Will have 3 lines with 80 taps and probably a few buckets.

    Trees in the open are dripping slowly. Woods trees are mostly dry holes so far.
    Looks like a slow start. Couple warm days coming then cold weather returns here.
