    I’m betting it’s over here too. Only a random night here and there in the forecast shows freezing and then only by a degree or two... I collected Sunday and had probably last boil of the season-3 weeks but a productive 3 where we got almost as much with 12 taps as we did last season on 22 in 4.5 weeks.

    2020 26 taps 2-22-20 - Gen 2 barrel evaporator, DIY 100GPD RO
    2021 cut back some-12 taps Gen 2 barrel evap-too many other projects.

    Pulled our taps yesterday-no sap production for the last week and it’s been far too warm during the day-sugars are all budded out-stick a fork in it and listen to the fat lady sing-done for the year.

    Overall with 3+/- weeks and only 12 taps we did well-better per tree than last year by far.

    Good luck to everyone finishing up their season and cleaning and storing all of your gear away-looking forward to next season!
