Tuesday was a busy day for me, pulled over 200g of sap and another 80 today. Some trees are starting to drip ugly off colour but most are still clear. Boiled it all and drew off 33 litres, finished and in the jars. Slowly creeping up on my target but will need a good week or two if I have any hope to hit the 40g I had hoped to make this season.
Guess we will wait and see
Very interesting Indeed. I hope he contacts the local fire authorities so they can prepare the equipment manpower etc.
Exactly why I also posted this thread to the Upper NY crowd so maybe they will keep an eye out or take matters into their own hands. I personally suggest a lynching, using the biggest tree left standing.

SNAP! get a glass of syrup...add ever clear(180 proof) and cinnamon...warm it....take a sit in your most comfortable chair....breathe in breathe out.....all good.
Forecast not looking great....
I missed the early season..... and just got taps out on March 4th... Sap ran for a couple days last week, and back to this freeze.... Forecast in my area shows nothing above freezing until the weekend and then nothing above 2C for the following several days.... Hope the sun comes out strong and does her thing.... I'm afraid I may have missed it this year.
