Pulled ours out today - Boston metro west area. Taps were still running pretty good today but warm days and now a string of warm nights. Heck of season! and one heck of a rebound after that week of warm weather in the 60s and 70s in early Feb.
The sap is running every day here but the sap totals are a little low. I'm hoping to get another week and a half before I call it a season.

Agreed. Can't believe how clear the sap is. Next week looks like 20's at night and 40's and 50's during the day.
Still going strong in the hills of NW Mass. Been flowing like crazy since Sunday. Two feet of snow on the ground is sparring my trails from muddy ruts. Things look good through all of next week.
