The run continues thru the warm spell.
The flow doesn't want to slow down! I'm guessing the spigots will slow after today. Aside from a whole bunch of sugar ants I captured my first few Maple Moths during collecting last night! Wow, the New England four seasons certainly seem to be changing for sure.

Definitely...
Mine has slowed down to a trickle this morning. Late night it warmed up to near 50, and it was coming fast. My tank had 125 gal in it this morning, but temp now 37 and I am done for some weeks now. I still have snow/ice all over, and it is going to be treacherous in my hillside sugarbush until we get some deep snow.

Hey Double
Nice! Glad VT is getting the sap flowing too. Yeah, ice underfoot on the hillsides definitely sucks. I'm down to zero snow cover down here other than snow piles.
