woohoo, im very surprised!!
after cleaning pan and prepared a lot of small things in the cabane, i cannot resist to tap a tree close by.. sap is dripping, so i run to put snowshoes, and finally tap 40 on buckets, every one located downhill drips!!
we still have at least 4 ft of snowin wood, im located high elevation (1650ft),
but the next week temps preview seems good.

weather looks good for this week a few days at plus 6
Glad I am not the only one.I cheked again today and not a drop.Par for the course as I am allways slow here. Will chcek the trees at work tomorrow and see if they got any on vacuum.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..

Yippe I got a cup of sap today.Even being cold but sunny the tree dripped some what. Will tap the rest during the week and then figure out how to boil someday. Wading thru 4 feet of snow sucks.

Still not much happening where I am about 30 km north of Lachute
a small place called Fawn Lake
drove up to check today, everything runs to 6 gallon pails
I have about 2 inches in the bottom of each one
supposed to be 8 degrees for the next two days so hopefully when I check Saturday morning they will be full
I picked up 3 pairs of snowshoes on CL the wood ones with catgut, 40.00 for the 3 pairs
they work really well, only tripped once on them, I should have listened to Ken, I tried to back up LOL
I tapped a few more trees today and some were running somewhat. See what tomorrow brings.
