Went out about 1130 very warm and not a drop was running. Running now at a good pace now at 1.8% weird day for sure.

I have 88 taps on tubing, 2 main areas (i'm in concord) The front area is warmer than the back area and most of the sap i've got so far has been from the front. Had to fix a bunch of squirrel chews yesterday in the back area, but there was still some vacuum in the line, those trees weren't giving up much, and usually tend to get a later start.
So far about 58 gallons, since Monday.
Not a drop all day then around five started a little, yesterday very little also
10x21 sugar house
400 taps
227 gravity pipeline
Rest Buckets
Ditto all that here in Troy....

Supposed to be a chance of freezing temps later in the night tonight after the front goes. Keep our fingers crossed that it does. My 3/16" was running some today. Will have enough to boil tomorrow and hopefully the weather returns to normal.
