    I tapped mine Sunday night. Been high 30's and into 40's during the day. Not a drop of sap. There is at least 4 inches of snow pack. I'm hoping tomorrow will show some flow.

    I think we will be able to wait until at least March 10th to start tapping.

    I live an hour north of the twin city’s. Had my 2 test taps dripping sap yesterday. I still think I’m gonna hold off till next weekend to tap. I’m switching all my drop lines and buckets over to bags this year. It’s gonna cost a little bit more money but the end of the season clean up will be so much easier

    It's not the size of the tree...it's what inside that counts!

    Well, Test tap one is running, Test tap two is dripping, and Test tap three was gushing! I am tapping later today. I am located 1 hour north of the Metro.

    I'm about 15 miles south of St Cloud and tapped last weekend not expecting anything but just because I didn't think I'd have time this week. I didn't even put buckets under the taps, but when I got home on Tuesday the sugar maples were dripping. I put buckets out on the sugars and had about a gallon of sap on one tree. The silvers started dripping today so I put buckets out for them this evening, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

    Probably won't have enough to do anything with until next week, bit it's exciting to see it starting up!

    I'm an hour southwest of the twin cities and I have a foot of snow in the woods yet. I have 150 taps in so far and everything is dry as of 3/1/18 PM. We are on mostly north facing hills and the micro climate in the woods is quite different than the surrounding areas. I hope we get a start this weekend with sap flow.

    I am an hour SE of the twin cities. Put in 14 taps in the east woods last night and one was dripping. I tried to hold off as long as I could and not get too far ahead. If those are dripping today I will tap the south trees.

    I hope the week of March 12-16 won't be the high flows since I am out of town for the week.
