So,.............whats all this snow gonna do for us? I have about a foot in my yard, all my buckets will be buried now. Will this help in at the end of the season?

2011 - 6 taps - kitchen stove - 2 litres of syrup
2012 - 23 taps - lobster pot and propane torch - 4 litres of syrup
2013 - 30 taps - homemade woodstove turned arch with single pan
Having some textbook sap weather but no outstanding high sap volumes. Slow and steady it seems when we've had winters with a deep freeze like this winter was...
On par sap wise with the past 2 seasons.

Tapped 100 % Red maple for 14 years.
Grew from 22 trees to 325.
New woodlot and sugarwoods will have 3-4000 taps.

Looking forward to using 3/16" tubing.
Can't wait for 2019!!!

Its been strange for me here in Cape Breton. The two weeks prior to thursday, I only collected 12 litres of sap. But in the last four days I've collected just over 80 litres. I hope its keeps up a little longer.
