We are hoping for a nice run of sap too. The forecast next two weeks should very little freezing for us, but we run about 10 degrees colder down in the little valley we live in so hopefully it will be perfect. It has hovered around freezing with only a few drips for more than a week here. I can't empty buckets if they are frozen!
