    Default What's happening?

    Got a little run after tapping some on Wednesday ,tapped some Thursday and some yesterday,30 some trees about 40 gal but not much flowing at 11am so far? I thought it should be rippin but guess ground is frozen with 18" pf snow still on the ground,what is everyone else seeing?Boiling now and collect later cause the rest of the week looks cold.

    Default So so this wkend

    Didn't run great for me either, only around 120 gallons all weekend. I was expecting more, but thats sappin. Didn't boil, temps are supposed to go to zero this week, didnt feel like dealing with splitting valves on the evap if things freeze up solid.
