Totally agree, Starting the 13th it looks to be perfect.

Yep looks like it is taking shape nicely! I was thinking another 10 days a few days ago to getting stuff together now so I can tap Saturday afternoon. Looks promising for a while too!
50 Taps are in and ready for the warm weather to come. It was a good day with the kids!
Been a long wait, but all 30 taps are in place, burner is ready and excited to get this rolling. It’s 33 degrees with an expected high in the mid 40s/50s most of the week. Let’s the dripping commence!
2020 1st season- 8 gallons of syrup
2021 2nd season- 11 gallons of syrup
2022 3rd season 6 gallons of syrup
2023 4th season- 7 gallons of syrup
Did anyone have any luck today? I only had one tree put out about a gallon, besides that just dribbles on about half the trees.

I was surprised to have 3 trees turn on and give me 5 gallons today. They are dripping pretty good. The others are just starting to get wet. 28 taps in Rochester.
I got about two gallons out of six different trees. The other taps hopefully will start soon! Near Milaca.
Just West of Danbury WI, tapped 150 on Sunday and still nothing.
Will the nights be too warm? I noticed that it's going to be above freezing for several nights.
I also have a question about an old maple tree. I tapped this old maple for several years successfully but the past few years have gotten nothing. Do I need to drill deeper as trees age?
I have never heard about drilling deeper as trees age, just make sure your not by an old tap is what I can think of. a couple of warm nights this early I think we will be fine and maybe it will help all the trees wake up!
